As Hampshire is now in Tier4 we have to close our doors again for a while in order to keep members, course participants and tutors safe. If you are booked on a course in January we will be in touch this week. We will reopen as soon as we are able to. In the meantime here is a wonderful reduction linocut by @clairediedrichsen who is currently on the Foundation in Printmaking. Taking inspiration from vintage railway posters, this view of the Isle of Wight reminds us that there are better times ahead. Stay Safe - Stay at Home. Katherine and Sarah. 
For the last workshop Open Access session of the year @shazzzyb1 is printing these lovely #collagraph plates made from used coffee cups 
Covid-19 update November 2020 Following the latest Government announcement, we will be reopening from Thursday 3rd December until Christmas. If you are booked on a course with us in December you will have been contacted by us. The procedures we had in place prior to lock down will continue to be in place and regularly reviewed to ensure that we continue to be a Covid secure environment. All of our courses and workshop sessions until the end of March are now available on the courses page. Link in bio.
