The group began at the Richmond Printmaking Workshop and was instrumental in the success of that instructional studio workshop. In addition to the RPW, many of the One/Off Printmakers were faculty members or M.F.A alumni at Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Studio School, the Hand Workshop, Sweet Briar College, Richmond City schools, or the University of Richmond.
