Open Access 6h (full day)
Open Access is for printmakers to use the facilities to develop their own personal artwork or projects without tuition. Before buying here, you must confirm a time slot using the booking form on our Open Access page. Adequate printmaking experience and knowledge is a must to use the studio in this way. We have a large printing press (approx 60cm x 120xm) that can print etchings, linocuts, woodblocks and monoprint. We have a hotplate and etching baths for copper (ferric chloride) or zinc (copper sulphate). You could also use the space to carve lino or wood.
The studio can also be used for other creative projects so please email us if you have a project you would like to develop in a reflective, creative work environment.
6 hours (full day) is £25
3 hours (half day) is £15
You can book 10 sessions to get one free too.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A EMAIL CONFIRMATION OF A DATE BEFORE YOU BUY A SESSION.
