As one of the few artists’ print studios to incorporate non-toxic approaches to printmaking we are always looking for new process for our members to engage with. The new methods Penny will be researching will also be available to the general public through our classes. We have been extremely fortunate in securing someone of Penny’s knowledge and reputation for the post.
