The main studio is open to: studio artists, those who have booked presses, those who are part of a class, and employees. 

Under current Covid Restriction the studio and office, will have reduced access to the public, with sales of artwork, cards, catalogues etc. to be conducted primarily in our gallery space. This reduces foot traffic through the print making studio while artists are using the presses.

What this means for our Print Clubs:
Lino Club is up and running once a month again. Bookings essential.

​The Firestation Print Studio is a dynamic hub of arts activity, with printmaking at its core, yet open to a wide range of projects and practices.

As a community based organisation, the curatorial strategy supports artists with diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds at various stages of their career, by providing a supportive environment in which to create and exhibit their artwork.

​This is a unique element of the Firestation, as we provide facilities for all stages of artistic development in printmaking, from the inception and execution of artwork in the print workshop, to its presentation and display to the public in the gallery.
