Interested in seeing the fantastic print studio on the first floor? We will have tours with Lucas, on of our print technicians across the whole weekend.
(Please note that the ground floor is wheelchair accessible with a small 2" step, but we do not yet have disabled toilets, and the first floor studio is not accessible. We are not funded, but we are working on it and hope for a fully accessible workshop and resources soon. This fair also helps us build fundraising for improvements to come.)
The Makers District:
Hot Bed Press is playing a leading role in the creation of The Makers District working with Salford City Council, Salford Culture Place Partnership, Islington Mill, and Paradise Works.
We are planning more events like this print fair, more public commissions and public facing art. #makersdistrict
