Workshops:
Print:
All print sessions are held at the Digswell ‘Forge’ studios, in the fully equipped print workshop, which houses a large etching press and Albion Press. Other facilities include a kitchen and easy access for wheel chair users. There is ample on-site parking.
For more details on the studio and the equipment on site, see our facilities for printmakers page.
All workshops are suitable for beginners and experienced artists. The teaching is individual due to the small size of each class, so can be tailored to individual needs. Max 6 per session.
