All Workshops are postponed until it is safe to mingle again and new dates can be arranged with the Tutors.
Please consider booking these or even pre-booking places as Workshop income is Impress Printmakers Studio and Gallery's major source of income and we will have very limited income for the duration of this health crisis and economic hibernation.
Similarly many Tutors are reliant on intermittent work for income and to support their artistic practice.
