Courses

londonprintstudio offers a range of introductory and advanced workshops in printmaking, photography and one to one tuition in digital training. All our training sessions are taught in small groups, led by professional artists/printmakers. Courses run throughout the year.

Introductory courses provide training in specific techniques and are hands-on and experimental. They are excellent for beginners or as a refresher. They follow a set structure and are supported by clear and descriptive course notes. Introductory Courses are experimental and are not intended to produce a finished project.

Once you have completed an introductory course you can continue your training on a workshop, through one to one training sessions, or by registering to use open-access sessions.

You are welcome to visit the studio to view examples of printmaking processes available, and the training offered in the courses. Please visit Tuesday to Saturday between 11.00 am and 5.00 pm
