Leave with a solid understanding of the process and the confidence to carry on practising on your own.

TELL ME MORE

The workshops are run by The Bristol Print Collective, whose members are artists brought together with a love for all things ink. It was founded by Jemma Gunning and Victoria Willmott, who met while studying printmaking at Bristol University. They discovered a shared interest – print workshops that can explore the medium without the need for bulky equipment, so classes can be enjoyed outside a formal studio setup.  Other print artists have since joined the group, bringing their joy and passion to printmaking.
