I think this is awesome, because a girl I graduated with from the printmaking department in 2007 from RISD restarted this whole printshop by getting grants and networking her way to being behind this still really successful and ever growing program. ALso, I will add, she did a lot of the legwork while completing her senior degree project, which was, and I kid you not, a workable hot air balloon that she launched on gallery night at the end of our senior year. Totally totally amazing chick. And she's really nice too! Check out the shop's webpage; it't pretty cool.

That's very cool that she got this going. I like how student's work motivates them to pursue it more after graduation.
