Northern Print is a place where anyone can be supported to explore their own creativity, regardless of age, ability or circumstances. We are the centre for excellence in printmaking in the North East, based in Newcastle’s Ouseburn Valley.

Our distinct offer focuses on printmaking-related programmes, projects and activities for audience/participant groups engaging with: our studio (186 members – 50% artists/50% people who come to develop skills, wellbeing and be supported with creativity); adult classes/courses; schools and community groups; families; and our gallery and events.

We reach around 14500 people per year through our building-based work, outreach and links with wider arts initiatives, including Ouseburn Studios, The Late Shows and activities throughout the region.

Printmaking has broad appeal. People respond to the ‘magic’ of mark making, from the humble potato print to the use of presses and specialist equipment. We are committed to working with local communities, including low/no-cost access to address socio-economic barriers, one-to-one studio support for those with additional needs, and various smaller interventions responding to very individual needs. During 2019 /20, we worked with: older people with dementia/memory problems; adults with learning disabilities; young people with mental health needs; vulnerable young women and girls; older people who may feel isolated; and family groups, especially through our regular Inky Print activities for very young children and their parents/carers.

We provide an important resource for schools, enhancing teaching and learning, often by bringing together printmaking with other subject areas and topical issues, for example, we recently explored plastic pollution with children and young people by using plastic waste to create collagraph plates to print from.

We are also an important resource for professional artists - we contribute to their economic stability by providing opportunities for them to make and sell work - in our gallery, online and through partnerships, projects and networks with other local, national and international cultural organisations
