Open Access Saturdays
A maximum of two places are available each Saturday, except when a lithography course is scheduled and during holiday periods, for artists to use the workshop facilities. This is an ideal opportunity for those who have previously attended one of our courses to continue to make their own prints. You will need to be proficient to work independently with the printmaking processes and equipment. A short induction/refresher will be given at the start of your first session. Most materials are included. Printmaking paper is available to purchase at the studio.
TIMES
10am - 5pm
COST
£60 per day or £10 per hour
Please contact us to check availability of places and methods of payment.
The fee includes all essential materials. Fine printing papers can be purchased at the studio at cost prices.

You can book a whole day or by the hour. First come, first served. Advance payment requested. If you need to cancel please give as much notice as possible to allow others to take your place. Your booking can be transferred to a later date. If we need to cancel, you can request a refund.
