Le Studio PM of Montreal is a fine art printmaking workshop established in 1978 by master printmaker Paul Machnik, who apprenticed under Richard Lacroix at La Guilde Graphique, Montreal. Studio PM has editioned original work in etching and aquatint by renowned artists such as Betty Goodwin, Alfred Pellan, Jack Shadbolt, Kenojuak Ashevak and others. Since 1994 the Studio has printed etchings and aquatints that are included in the Fall and Spring Cape Dorset (Kinngait) Annual Print Collection.

Paul and his partner Bess Muhlstock have conducted printmaking workshops in the Canadian Arctic as well as with the Chukotka people in Eastern Siberia and the Australian Aboriginal peoples in North Queensland.
The prints produced by Studio PM are in major collections throughout the world including the National Gallery, Ottawa, the Museum of Civilization, Hull, Quebec and the Musée de L’Homme in Paris.
