Open Access sessions are a chance to use the facilities in the studio to make your own work. A tutor will be in the studio throughout the day to provide technical assistance and to support the use of the equipment.
Open Access sessions are available to artist printmakers who have either:
• Attended a relevant course at the Curwen Print Study Centre and are confident in working independently; for example, if you want to do some etching, you need to have attended an etching course and feel happy working on your own.
• Or experienced artist printmakers who are confident in working independently for their selected printmaking technique, and have completed a Studio Induction session.
