GLASGOW PRINT STUDIO has a high-flying international reputation as a major contributor to contemporary printmaking. It offers facilities among the most sophisticated in Europe, attracts artists from all over the world, runs an ambitious exhibition programme, and provides a unique environment where famous names work alongside students or members under the watchful eye of master printers in etching, lithography and screen printing.
