It all began with a non-toxic studio in her remodeled South Valley garage, where artists would rent press access on an hourly basis and Held taught classes.
In 2000, Regina expanded to the current 3500 square foot commercial space in Nob Hill.
Now, more than five years later, New Grounds includes a thriving gallery that represents member and international artists whose works Regina consigns.
It is also a shared workspace where resident artists have the use of two large print rooms, five presses, comfortable work and storage areas, a break room, and areas in which to shoot photographic plates for gravures and to etch plates for intaglio prints.
Another entire room, with its own press, is devoted to classes, where everything from monotype to the alternative process, gumoil printing, is taught.
