We were thrilled to open our beloved Bluecoat Print Studios earlier this year, and launch a new membership for creatives - the Bluecoat Artist Membership.
If you are an aspiring or active printmaker who would like to be part of a local printmaking community consider becoming a Bluecoat Artist. Your membership allows you to be at the heart of our creative community, book our Intaglio and Screenprinting Studios for personal use, and offers some other incredible perks.
The Studios are currently open for hire on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 9:00am - 5:00pm.
