Other early founders of printshops include Richard Lacroix who founded Atelier Libre (1964), the first printshop in Canada which made printmaking facilities available to contemporary artists, and the Guilde Graphique (1966) in Montreal, Jack Lemmon and Robert Rogers who founded the NSCAD Lithography Workshop in 1969, Richard Sewell and Barbara Hall who founded Open Studio in Toronto in 1970, and William H. Lobchuk and Len Anthony who founded The Grand Western Canadian (GWC) Screen Shop in Winnipeg in 1973.
Ayot also was a member of the GWC Screen Shop and made prints in Winnipeg.
He also taught there (1964), and at the Université du Québec, Montreal (1969-1995).
In 1966 he founded and directed Atelier Libre 848, a printmaking workshop (known as Atelier Graff from 1970 on).
