Print Workshops

All workshops are at The Forge Studios in Digswell near Welwyn, in our fully equipped printmaking studio. Our facilities include: a large traditional intaglio press, suitable for printing drypoint, collagraph, photopolymer and monoprint plates; an Albion press for linocut and woodblock printing; and plenty of bench space.
Here are the current workshops running at The Forge. We have other courses coming soon, to include linocut, collagraph and drypoint. Please feel free to give us your suggestions for courses you might be interested in attending, that we could potentially offer.
