About
Who We Are
Pavement Print Studio is a student-led mobile printmaking project from RMIT Associate Degree Graphic Design. Established in 2025, we combine Japanese Surimacca screen printing with contemporary digital fabrication technologies, creating accessible collaborative experiences in public spaces.
Our autonomous studio - housed on a bicycle trailer - brings professional printmaking directly to communities, inviting hands-on participation regardless of experience.
Our Practice
The studio functions as a nomadic design practice, positioning students as practitioners within authentic community contexts whilst examining the relationship between mobility, accessibility, and collaborative creation.
Core Principles
Accessibility - We bring the studio to people, removing barriers to participation in creative making.
Collaboration - Every project is a shared creative act, with participants becoming co-creators rather than passive recipients.
Education - Students develop professional competencies through real community engagement, not simulated briefs.
Sustainability - Solar-powered operation, environmentally friendly water-based inks, minimal waste production.
