Derry Print Workshop is a fine art print workshop set up to promote both the appreciation and practice of printmaking and other related visual arts, and to service the printmaking needs of both professionals and the wider community.
The print workshop will provide an intaglio, relief and digital print facility for artists, groups and education.
There are many Fine Art Print Workshops around the world and the ethos of open access and community development are common to most. It is envisaged that this ethos will be reflected in developing Derry Print Workshop.
