Membership

The Print Studio is now under the management of East Quay (Onion Collective CIC).

There are two core membership tiers:

Keyholder membership offering independent access for experienced printmakers requiring regular and more expansive use.
Standard membership offering flexible access for less experienced printmakers who may require some technical support, or confident printmakers who need less regular access.

Each tier offers different levels of access, engagement and pricing: see below. If you just wish to attend courses and workshops, with tutors, run by the Print Studio, you do not need to be a Member (although membership does give you a 10% discount).
