Print Club

• A few hours to work in an inspiring and unique environment - a Grade I listed building and a working artist’s studio!

• Access to professional printmaking tools and presses, plus some ink and basic proofing papers.

• The opportunity to meet other printmakers and creatives living in the city.

• Complimentary light refreshments (tea, coffee, juice, biscuits or cake).

• Specialist guidance from an experienced printmaker and studio technician.

• A relaxed place to work on your projects in a beautiful print studio, with an emphasis on socialising and meeting other printmakers.

• Print Club starts at 6pm and continues until late. Feel free to arrive at any time and leave at any time - but we will be cleaning up by 9:30pm.

• All skill levels are welcome to attend, but please note this is not a workshop.

• These sessions are predominantly for printmakers, but other crafts are welcome if they can be done at a table (sketchbooks, watercolours, knitting etc). Please bring the tools required for your specific craft.

• Session Capacity: 6 People

• Bring a project to work on for the duration of the session. You can make use of my presses and tools during your time. You are welcome to bring your own tools and materials.

• Suggested printmaking activities you could bring to work on include: carving lino or wood; creating collagraph, drypoint or tetrapak plates; proofing your work.

• One type of ink will be rolled out, ideal for taking test prints. Some basic papers will be available for proofing. You are welcome to bring your own inks and papers if you want to use specific materials.

• Printing can be messy! Bring an apron or wear something you don’t mind getting stained.

• Bring a positive attitude to try something fun! There is no such thing as a stupid question and there is no pressure to make your best work in this session. It’s all about sharing with each other and enjoying a pleasant evening!

On your first visit, you will be given a membership card with stamps to collect. As you attend sessions, I’ll stamp your card. If you attend 9 sessions and fill your card, you’ll get your 10th Print Club session free!

To claim your free space, please book as normal and pay for your date to secure your space. I will issue you a refund on arrival to your session - just remember to bring your stamp card!
