Open Access Print Studio

Our Open Access Print sessions will give you the opportunity to further develop your own projects at your own pace. These are self-led sessions where you are able to use our print studio. One of the Art Academy Print Associates will be supervising at all times, offering support and advice.

To make sure you can safely use the facilities if you are not an experienced printmaker, we request that you have completed at least one evening or weekend printmaking course with us.

You must purchase your own materials. Tools, presses and etching sundries in the Print Studio are provided and there is availability for you to purchase individual paper and plates (card payments only). You can choose to supply your own inks and extender or pay a service fee of £10 per session to access the available inks stocked by Art Academy.

Individual sessions are available to purchase on our Eventbrite page.
