Printmaking Workshops

We run fun, accessible gel plate monoprinting workshops in libraries, museums, galleries and community centres in Lancashire and the surrounding area. You don’t need any hefty equipment – we bring everything with us, and after a short demonstration, you’re on your way to making lots of exciting prints of your own!
