C.A.P Studio
Old City printmaking studio on Samlarn Rd turning out hand‑pulled etchings, woodcuts, and lithographs. Quiet, inky, and welcoming—call ahead, then browse signed editions fresh from the press, steps from Wat Phra Singh.
About
Step off Samlarn Road into the inky calm of C.A.P Studio, a fine‑art printmaking workshop in Chiang Mai’s Old City. The presses sit ready, plates and blocks stack neatly on work tables, and flat files hide stacks of limited‑edition prints. This is where etchings, woodcuts, lithographs, and screen prints are pulled by hand in small runs, often in collaboration with Thai and international artists.
Collectors and curious travelers are welcome to flip through the drawers: you’ll find signed editions, process proofs, and one‑off experiments that never make it to commercial galleries. Regulars know to ask what’s just come off the press—there’s often a fresh series drying on the racks. The studio doesn’t do reproductions; everything here is original, craft‑driven, and meant to live on a wall for years.
It’s a working studio first, so hours can shift with print runs. Best move: call or message ahead, then drop by in the afternoon for a slow browse. The address is easy—41/2 Samlarn Rd in Phra Sing, a short walk from Wat Phra Singh—so you can pair it with a temple wander or coffee stop nearby.
