NEW SATURDAY OPENING TIMES

West Yorkshire Print Workshop now opens every Saturday from 10am until 3pm.

These extra opening times are aimed at experienced printmakers who are able to print effectively without technical support.


A volunteer will be opening and closing the workshop, and therefore technical support will not be available.

To use the workshop on a Saturday you must contact us during normal opening hours to book in advance. Advance booking is essential to avoid a volunteer having to turn up if they are not required.

Please note: some courses are run on Saturdays so not all of the facilities may be available every week.

This houses all the facilities needed for screen printing.

We have two Kippax screen beds with vacuum facility and there is a large UV bed for exposing screens and a screen wash room with pressure washer and large sink. We also have a large drying rack for work. Different sized screens are available for use by members on a chargeable daily basis and members are also welcome to provide their own screens. There is ample storage space for all screens and members can also store their inks and work/paper.

We provide the photosensitive coating but members have to purchase their own inks.

We also have a textile printing table, able to print up to 2 yards of fabric, which can be used to print t-shirts, bags etc.

Hire of the table to non-members is charged at a rate of £20 per 7 hour day, plus a temporary membership fee of £10 (three months), which can then be put towards annual membership. Extra hours are charged at a rate of £4.00 per hour. Members are of course free to use the textile table as part of their studio time.

Art supplies are available to purchase from our competitively priced shop.

Print Room - We have two etching presses which can be used for etching plates and relief plates such as lino and collagraphy.

There is a drying rack, a paper bath and five large glassed workspaces for inking up.

Plate Room - This is where all etching plates, lino cuts, collagraphs etc are produced. The room has recently been set up with a new aquatint box, a fume extractor for biting plates, and a vertical tank for biting with ferric chloride.

We are always happy to show individuals or groups around the premises providing it is by prior arrangement
