Hot Bed Press is a not-for-profit, open access print workshop, dedicated to supporting anyone with an interest in printmaking, and promoting printmaking to a wider audience.

We are the largest open access print workshop in the region with over 150 members. We provide specialist printmaking equipment and expertise in printmaking and related media, (such as screenprinting, etching, letterpress and bookmaking). We are open 5 days a week, plus Thursday evenings and the last Saturday of every month, with technical support on hand from our volunteer Studio Managers who help keep the place running smoothly.
