Studio Hire Card / Materials voucher
In order to keep things as easy to use as possible we operate a voucher scheme which can be used to pay for sessional usage and materials. You simply buy a studio hire card and a materials voucher which can be used for all materials, ink use etc. It costs just £3.00 an hour to use our fantastic resources.

Materials
Materials cards cost £10.00. We have a large selection of inks, specialist papers and much more, all at very reasonable prices. When a member arrives to work at the studio they pick up a ‘daily bill sheet’ and write their name and time of arrival. This sheet has a few outline costs and can be used to keep a track of materials and hours used to be handed in the end of the session, (perhaps when clearing up). The Technician or Studio Volunteer will then ‘tot up’, and to cross off hours and materials costs from the card/s.

Any member is welcome to bring their own materials, but we have everything you should need.

Storage
We have a large selection of drawers and storage boxes available for hire. This allows you to bring materials in and keep them here. The plan chest drawers mean that you do not have to keep taking prints home. Although we do have a lot of drawers we have a lot of members so drawer and storage box availability is strictly on what is available. When someone vacates a drawer we will notify anyone on a reserve list for a drawer.

Drawers and storage boxes are hired on a yearly basis.
