Hunter Island Press
Community Access Print Studio
Hunter Island Press (HIP) is a not-for-profit organisation with our primary objective to establish and operate a professional public access print studio in Hobart. The studio, located at Wirksworth House in Bellerive, provides a place for artists to create work and pass on our skills to the community.
Membership, AUD$50 per year or AUD$30 for concession holders, allows for studio access and inclusion in HIP exhibitions. Members can also have a personal members gallery page on this website.
Print Workshops
In October 2007 we offered Melbourne based Printmaker Belinda Fox a residency and her workshop was well received by all who participated. We will be running a number of new workshops yet to be confirmed for 2008. These should include relief printing, lithography, collagraphs, artists’ books and digital media. We hope to see you there.
