Welcome to Dolphin Press & Print @ MICA

Dolphin Press is located in Baltimore at the Maryland Institute College of Art. We regularly produce original editions of artist's books and print editions of the highest level, comparable in quality and scope to professional presses.

Dolphin Press is a learning press. Pedagogically, it focus on student collaborations with visiting artists and on professional development.The Press delivers learning in new formats, different from a typical studio classroom experience.

It is the only university-based shop where students are the printers, not assistants. They work as the principle technicians on all projects under the supervision of Dolphin Press master printers.

As a result, Dolphin Press is creating future artists & collaborators who emerge from MICA as creative entrepreneurs with skills in master printing, archiving and curatorial practice.
