The Bluecoat is the UK's first arts centre.
For one hundred years we've been a home to a flourishing creative community of artists in residence, studio holders, print studios, retailers and other independent creative businesses. Take a look at who's in the building, who we've worked with and how you can get involved in our creative community.
Print Studio
There has been a printmaking facility at the Bluecoat since the late 1960's. Housed in two studios, our Print Studios offer courses, workshops and studio hire to anyone interested in exploring the creative possibilities of print, from absolute beginners to practised artists.
Our current Print Studio is open access, which means you can book to use the space whenever you'd like. We also host monthly workshops and courses for beginners and intermediate print makers.
