About
Who We Are
Pavement Print Studio is a student-led mobile printmaking project from RMIT Associate Degree Graphic Design. Established in 2025, we work with multiple screen printing and screen-making techniques alongside 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.
