Snapshots from this Wednesday's studio Sessions.
It’s always inspiring to see what our members are creating in the studio!
This week Julia was etching onto copper and mezzotint. While Alon was printing from his hand carved woodblocks in the downstairs studio.
In the screenprint studio upstairs, Tommy was building up richly layered bird and leaf screenprints, while Eleanor was experimenting with expressive mark-making on the screens.
Our studio is a space for all of this—experimentation, skill-building, and shared creative energy.

This afternoon @emmamolonyprintmaker ran a drop-in monoprint workshop at Clyston Mill in Broadclyst.
As part of National Mills Weekend we are joining @ntkillerton to celebrate the industrial heritage of this beautiful watermill.
We also shared our maps of local paper mills created during our Paper & Print research project. Participants printed plants from the mill grounds onto Abaca paper made locally at Devon Valley Mill in Hele, the last remaining local paper mill. We love printing onto this delicate paper made from Manila hemp.
Don’t miss this annual opportunity to visit Clyston Mill. It’s open this Friday, Saturday and Sunday 1 - 4pm, and we’ll be printing again on Saturday from 1 - 3pm!
