The studio is an open access fine art print workshop. An artist lead, voluntary organisation dedicated to the production and promotion of original prints as a fine art medium. The regular staff and the two directors are unpaid; invited tutors receive a fee. All earnings are put back into the continued development and running of the workshop.

Ann d'Arcy Hughes and Jane Sampson founded B.I.P in the year 2000 with the aim of securing the future of traditional Printmaking combined with the development of the new technology within the medium.

We welcome all those interested from beginners to accomplished printmakers to learn and use printmaking as a creative process.
