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 have spacious facilities including a screenprint area equipped with 7 screen beds, an etching facility boasting 4 etching presses an aquatint room, nitric and ferric etching booths, and a letterpress/relief print area  with 2 Albion presses a Columbian and various Adanas and nipping presses. We currently have 160 members. We are the largest open access print workshop in the region.

We are open 5 days a week, plus Thursday evenings and the last Saturday of every month, with technical support on hand from our Technician and volunteer Studio Managers who help keep the place running smoothly.

Our course programme is undoubtedly one of the biggest print resources in the country with over 50 courses; from one-day taster courses to a year-long comprehensive course. The range of courses is always varied and we freshen up courses with new techniques and approaches for each programme. [We run 3 programmes a year.] Our book and letterpress courses are very highly regarded.
