Paul Taylor began working with photogravure in 1980.  He studied photogravure and interned with Professor Jon Craig at the University of Connecticut, Stoors, Connecticut.  Paul conducted extensive research while a graduate student at The Rhode Island School of Design and continues to research, innovate and refine his work with the process. Renaissance Press takes pride in creating plates and prints for artists, photographers and print publishers that are unique to the vision of the artists we work with.

Artists are welcome to come to the studio to work with Paul during platemaking and proofing.  There is an 18th century farmhouse attached to the studio that is available to artists in residence.

 Studio Rate and Fees:

Thanks to advances in digital technology and continued efforts to refine and hone the platemaking process it is now possible for us to produce more plates in less time than was previously possible.  These innovations have allowed us to often double our platemaking productivity and success rate.  

The studio is often booked a month or more in advance.  For more information on photogravure plate making and printing, platinum / palladium printing or workshops please contact Paul Taylor.  renaissancepress@comcast.net
