Curwen Print Study Centre

The Curwen Print Study Centre was established as an educational Fine Art Printmaking charity in the late 1990s by Master Printer Stanley Jones MBE and local entrepreneur and art lover Sam Alper OBE.

Our new purpose built premises opened in 2022, we have a teaching studio a studio for artist members, a gallery and we are currently preparing our extensive print archive for public view.

Since its formation, the Curwen Print Study Centre has established a reputation for excellence in its field.

The adult course programme offers something for everyone, from those who are new to printmaking to those who have previous experience and are looking for Masterclass tuition. Open access is available to artists who have successfully completed the relevant course. We welcome artists of all abilities and all ages.

Our highly successful education programme involves school students from Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. The majority of schools re-book each year, encouraged by the higher grades that they subsequently achieve at GCSE, AVCE, IB, AS and A2.

The content can be adapted to suit all ability levels from the least able to the most gifted and talented students looking for enrichment and extension.

Printmaking sessions can be taught within your environment ‒ 2 tutors, presses and materials all provided. Reduce travel costs, travel time and administration – we can bring the printmaking studio to you if you are approximately one hour’s drive from our location in West Suffolk. Extended travelling time considered for longer residences.

Workshops can be Relief, Intaglio, Monoprinting or Screen (available for small groups only).
