Printed Work

What the Press
Produces

Examples of work produced through Dohuxo Tatema course projects — from first prints to advanced multi-color editions. Every piece shown was printed by hand on a physical press.

The pieces shown here represent the range of work that emerges from our course modules. Beginners produce functional, attractive printed items from their first workshop. More advanced students develop personal visual languages through repeated printing and experimentation.
