Opening night at Leeds Print Workshop

Leeds Print Workshop is located on Vicar Lane in the centre of Leeds and provides a screen print studio space for artists of all levels and skills. The Print Workshop offers a range of short courses like bookbindings, mono printing, natural dyeing and lino printing. Each of these short courses and workshops can be booked online and generally are for a single day. Early October the PrintWorks had a re-opening and I attended, to check out what the Studio space had to offer. At the opening night there was a screen print demo as well as a small gallery exhibition of some of their printers works, one I recognised was created by Kristyna Baczynski (link to her instagram) who's an artist I've met previously at the Zine Festival back in August.  The main reason why I attended was to get to know more about what the printing costs/workshops have on offer to use. As a member you can gain full access to their studio space in sessions for members - Which run from Friday to Sunday, 10:30am to 14:30pm. Membership costs £45 for the year or £3 per hour and before being given access to the print space, a personal introduction is given to new members/users. 

As I want to develop my illustration work with zines, comics and prints I'm planning on purchasing a year long membership at the begining of 2017.


Note (May 17th 2017): I cannot afford it but hopefully one day I will.
