Come and get ink on a sleeve.

Three regular sessions. Dates are generated from the studio week so the list does not expire, and spaces fall when you book inside this browser. Nothing is reserved on a server.

Two pairs of hands pulling ink across a screen on a printing bed — Library photo, not Plate & Pigment.

01

One day, 10:00–16:00 · £85
Intro to Risograph
Separate a simple two-colour drawing, print a short run, and leave with a stack you made yourself.
No press experience needed. We start with paper, not software: crop marks, two stencils, and why the overlap is a colour. You can bring a sketch or draw one here. We keep the pictures bold so they survive a first attempt. Tea is included. Paper and ink are included. Take-home edition of about twenty A4 sheets, subject to how the drum feels that morning.

02

One day, 10:00–16:00 · £85
Screen-printing day
Coat, expose and pull a single-colour screen on paper, plus a tote you bring from home.
A practical day on the vacuum bed. You will learn a simple photo emulsion, how to wash out a stencil, and how to pull without flooding the sheet. One ink, chosen from the studio rack. Bring a plain tote if you want the same image on cloth. We will not pretend one day makes you a master printer. You will leave able to plan a second print without us hovering.

03

Evening, 18:00–21:00 · £85
Linocut evening
Cut a small block, print it in one ink, and take a little edition home the same night.
Tools, lino and paper are on the bench. We cover transferring a drawing, cutting safely, and printing by hand with a baren. The block is small so you finish. One ink. If you have never held a gouge, start here rather than with the press day — the thinking is the same, the machine is quieter.
