We have been a bit quiet on the Instagram front due to a rather devastating flood here at GPC.

We will soon be fully operational but in the meantime - didn't want you all to forget we have our next exhibition to celebrate our 20 years of providing a coperative printmaking studio for Artists Printmakers of Gloucestershire & beyond.

We hope you will join us through the week and you are invited to our opening even on Tuesday 6-9pm for drinks & an informal Q&A with some of our members.

See you there!
