Printmaking studio in the heart of Ouseburn Valley

Northern Print has a purpose-designed studio providing a well-lit, accessible, organised and creative environment for printmaking, comprising of a collection of presses and printmaking equipment that has been built up over a number of years.

Unsupervised access to the studio is strictly limited to studio members only.  Membership is available to all and you can find out about it here.

Here is a summary of the facilities and equipment that we have for you to use.

We also have several Macs with Adobe Creative Cloud and more specialist software installed which you are welcome to use to create negatives and positives for prints.

We also have a separate education studio, an editioning studio, plus a dark room with enlarger.
