Here, at St Barnabas Press, I spent many hours working and learning intaglio and working on many of my prints. It was a fantastic place with a great teacher and artists. Thanks!

History
St.Barnabas Press, in Cambridge, offers artists' proofing and professional editioning services, studio space for rental by artists working on individual projects in printmaking or related disciplines and media, and open-access printmaking courses for artists.The Press was founded in 1993 by James Hill in premises in St Barnabas Road, Cambridge, partly with the aid of a Prince of Wales Trust loan. It initially offered etching and silkscreen printmaking courses and open-access printmaking. Four years later it was possible to expand to make studio space for artists in adjoining buildings.In 2001 the Press moved to its current, larger premises at Belfast Yard where a good deal of building and development work has taken place to extend the range of processes that can be applied in traditional and innovative printmaking, and in photography.
Advantages of studying here
The Press supports etching, lithography, screen-print and relief printing processes and is developing expertise in multimedia and new printing technologies. There is scope for preparation and manipulation of images on computer for transfer to photo-stencil processes.
Areas of specialisation
A new mezzanine floor has been built at the Press with studio spaces for about a dozen artists, who work in printmaking and other media.The program of open-access printmaking activities has continued at the new premises but the Press now puts a greater emphasis on collaborative editioning projects with artists, and the publication of original prints, and on the promotion of work of the resident artists. Unlike most open-access printmaking studios, the Press is entirely self-financed, through sales of art produced here, and earnings from the services it provides to artists and the local community.There are flexible membership and access schemes to allow those with some printmaking skill to use the facilities of the Press with support from skilled print technicians.A small gallery space in the mezzanine contains a rolling program of new works by resident artists for sale, and there is a program of occasional exhibitions at the Press throughout the year.
