Open Access Studio Space
At Hope Press we offer an open access studio session on Tuesday evenings called ‘Print Club’.
This is a session from 7pm to 9.30 where you can use the facilities to make your own work.
Membership costs £50 per year which includes your own storage box in the studio. Each session is £12.50.
Up to four people can use the space each session. If you wish to book it for your exclusive use that can be arranged. Bring your own materials or buy them as you need them.
If demand increases I’m keen to expand access to other weekday nights and the weekend. I’d like to build something of a community around the space and have some social events too.
The studio is around 500 square feet.
