We have purchased a large screen bed thanks to fundraising at our £50 print sale, which raised an astounding £1,500. The large screen bed will be put in place in November when we are taking out a wall in the dark-room to move the exposure unit in and make more room in the screen area.

We also have a wide range of specialist printmaking papers and supplies and of course are really pleased to have Intaglio Printmaker and Ratchfords Book Arts Suppliers as sponsors of our education programme.
