The founding dream of the Workshop is interwoven with the vision of preserving the tradition of Hebrew printmaking and continuing it in Jerusalem and the Land of Israel. Over the years, the Workshop has collected antique and rare printing presses, most of which were discovered in Jerusalem. One of these was manufactured in 1854 and purchased by Yoel Moshe Salomon in Monza, Italy, for the printing house he established in Jerusalem with Michal HaCohen in 1863. It was on this press that HaLevanon, the first Hebrew newspaper in the Land of Israel, was printed.
In addition to the practical and historical preservation of traditional printmaking techniques, the Workshop constantly works to develop new technologies in the field and is credited with several significant innovations. The Workshop is equipped with a wide range of printing presses, antique and modern, as well as advanced printing instruments used for various printmaking techniques. It features a central workspace where the presses are located, an etching department, a screen-printing department, an area dedicated for independent work by artists, an office, and two galleries situated on the upper and lower floors of the Workshop building.
