Applications are now being taken for the Neoartists Print Studio User membership scheme. This scheme is for serious printmakers who would like to use the printmaking facilities on a regular basis, but do not want a permanent work space in the Neoartists Studios. We also run friendly relaxed courses for small groups on a variety of print processes including solar plate, screen-print and etching.

1st Floor, Neoartists Studios CIC, Corporation Chambers, Corporation Street, Bolton, BL1 2AN.
Facilities:
The printmaking studio is ‘green’. We offer non-toxic printmaking facilities for:
- Ferric Chloride Etching
- Copper Sulphate Etching

Access:
The printmaking studio is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We regret there is currently no disabled access but funding is being applied for to remedy this situation.
Eligibility:
Applications are welcome from existing Associate Members who are experienced printmakers and do not require tuition or assistance, apart from initial induction.
Other experienced printmakers are also welcome to apply but Neoartists membership is a condition of acceptance.
Fees:
The Print Studio User membership fee is £40 per calendar month, payable in advance by standing order. This includes the Associate Membership fee which gives benefits such as individual web page, free submission to Neoartists exhibitions, solo show opportunities, etc.
