PRINT CLUB:
Suspended until October 2025

Numbers have dwindled during the long, dark, cold days, so the committee has decided to put a pause on Print Club until the weather is warmer and the roads are safer. We hope to see you again when Daylight Savings kicks in and and we can enjoy some collegiate printing again.

Book Time in Our Studio

If you are already an inducted member of Castlemaine Press, you can book time on one or more of our presses at a very low cost. We offer members access to a bright, well-equipped printmaking studio with two Merlarue printing presses – a small format 500 x 1000mm direct-drive etching press, and a large format 1000 x 2000mm geared etching press.
