The workshops at Printfest ran from Wednesday to Sunday. There were seven in all; 5 half-day workshops and 2 full-day workshops. Here are the Information sheets for 2026
General Information
Workshops are limited to 6 participants at each, to make sure you have time and space to get the most out of the session.
Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided. If you are attending a full day workshop there will be time to go into Ulverston for lunch, or you may like to bring a packed lunch with you. On Saturday and Sunday the Printfest Vintage Bakes café at The Coro will be open for lunches and other refreshments.
Please bring an apron or wear old clothes – printmaking can be messy!
Before attending it would be helpful to have a think about what images you would like to produce and bring along some sources of inspiration. If you are struggling to think of ideas your tutor will be able to help and will have some source materials you can use at the workshop.
Prices: £45 for half day workshop, £85 for full day workshop
