We are two friends that are passionate about printmaking. Between us we have over 20 years of creative arts teaching experience. We had a vision of creating a space where we could expand on our own printmaking practice and also run workshops to share our knowledge to others.
So, Print [works] Weston CIC was born! At the beginning of 2021 we registered as a CIC and so the task of finding a space to work from began….
In the September, we were offered the rental of a small unit just outside Weston-super-Mare at Ivy House Farm Business Centre. Since then, we have been busy getting the space ready to have guests!
Recycling and repurposing are very important to us (as well as a very tight budget!) so when we moved into the workshop, we have tried to repurpose anything we could that was already there.
In September 2022 we moved from to larger premises at Balmer Knightcott Industrial estate, on the outskirts of Weston-super-Mare. This has allowed us to expand what we are able to offer and introduce more specialist equipment.
We are creating a space that we very much hope you will feel at home in. Welcome to Print [works] Weston….
