  Paul Yank and his family moved to Cedarburg in 1966, purchasing the former Weber Brewery building complex for Yank’s studio space. Over the years, Yank transformed the 1840s stone building into a welding and printmaking studio, gallery space for area artists, and an educational center for instructional classes in sculpture, painting, drawing, life drawing, and printmaking. Up until his passing, Yank continues in his mentoring role, sharing his university-quality presses and instructing artists in various types of printmaking.
