Join us in Medway where Rochester meets Chatham – only 40 minutes from London by train. Our much loved Victorian building on Rochester High Street has a beautiful Art Deco frontage and is a landmark in the historic area of Chatham Intra.

We run short courses and weekly open-access printmaking, we take part in Medway Open Studios and host our own events.

Classes

Our programme of printmaking courses covers techniques including: Drypoint, Screen Printing, Textile Repeat Patterns, Monoprinting, Collagraph, Risograph, Photopolymer Etching, Linocut and related skills such as Bookbinding.

For dates of scheduled classes – see panel on the right of this page, or request a date for one of the regular courses we offer.

The large open workspace at the front of our building can be hired for activities or events, and our print studio can be hired by the day for groups to run their own club or teaching sessions for intaglio, silkscreen or relief printing.

School groups & tutoring

We welcome the opportunity to work with schools, individuals and home education groups. Classes can run using the specialist presses in our print studio, or by bringing some of our mobile printmaking equipment to a classroom or space.

Most of our classes can be tailored for younger people. We facilitate preparation work for art scholarships, deliver elements of BTEC courses, and worked on some large scale projects with schools. Please contact us if you’d like to arrange a visit or class.

Gift Vouchers

If you know someone who would love to do a course, but you’re not sure which one, maybe a hand printed Medway Fine Printmakers gift voucher would make the ideal present. They can also be used for open access sessions and materials.
