About Print Club:

Since 2017 Print Club (Tuesdays, 5 – 7pm, MK018) has been a space for supporting printmaking activities across subjects. Facilitated by Fine Art lecturers Simon Harris & Laura Onions, this is a vital space for supporting staff and students in printmaking practices and for the development and production of prints for 20:20 exchange. In 2022 we hosted the Print Exchange exhibition in the Fine Art studios (pictured).
