We welcome everyone to come and experience the whole building in action and have a go at making a print, with drop-in workshops, family activities, artists’ open studios, hot drinks and cake. It is also a great opportunity to have a good around our ‘Human Figure’ exhibition and browse our shop which showcases work by WYPW members and local printmakers.

Print Day in May began locally in the greater Monterey Bay Area of California in 2007, and has become a worldwide annual event. In 2018, artists from all 50 US states, 46 different countries and all 7 continents participated!
