Open Access Studio Space
At Hope Press we offer an open access studio session on Tuesday evenings called ‘Print Club’.
This is a session from 7pm to 9.30 where you can use the facilities to make your own work.
Membership costs £7 per month which includes your own storage box in the studio. Each session is £12.50.
Up to three people can use the space each session. If you wish to book it for your exclusive use that can be arranged. £35 per evening. Bring your own materials or buy them as you need them.
If demand increases I’m keen to expand access to other weekday nights and the weekend. I’d like to build something of a community around the space and have some social events too.
The space is fairly small and the facilities available reflect that – small format stuff only for the time being folks – but the studio is in an old Mill building and has terrific light with big West-facing windows.
Facilities
At the moment we have:
A small intaglio press
A large lino, woodcut and fabric press
A drying cabinet
Facilities for Acrylic Resist Etching / galv-etch
Woodcut and Linocut tools
Drypoint tools
Paper storage & Drying Space
An Adana 3x5
A book press
An enormous papercutter
Facilities for cutting plates / sheet materials
As the project builds it is my ambition to increase the size of the studio, find a bigger press, provide screen printing facilities and a UV exposure unit.
