St Barnabas Press is one of the UK’s leading printmaking centres, offering printmaking courses to students of all levels. For over 28 years (est. 1993) we have offered both introductory and intermediate printmaking courses.
Our dedicated well-equipped, airy and sizeable printmaking studio is an ideal working area where students can develop their printmaking skills. St Barnabas is a friendly artists’ community, a place where many practising artists have their studios. It makes for a friendly working environment that is very conducive to the development of a student’s creativity.
Printmaking course. Foundation Course in Printmaking
We offer flexible mixed ability classes for novices and printmakers with some experience with techniques such as etching, screen printing, relief printing, and lithography being taught.
Throughout the autumn, winter and spring, during term-time, we offer courses in a variety of printmaking techniques. The aim is to give newcomers a basic competency in printmaking and help those with more experience to develop and extend their range. The work is based around individual projects and to a large extent, each is guided by what the student wants to achieve and the nature of your own project.
In our introductory Courses students explore the different printmaking techniques and broaden their knowledge and understanding of printmaking procedures with a particular focus on professional workshop practice.
Complementary to our printmaking courses, we offer the following:
- Open access printmaking studio (Screen-printing, Relief printing, Lithography, Etching,)
- Studios and Gallery to rent
- Courses in life drawing
- Digital photography and film output
- Large format Giclee / inkjet Printing
- Framing and mounting services
- Sale of fine cotton papers and handmade sketchbooks
