Curwen Print Study Centre is an educational Arts charity established to keep Fine Art printmaking skills alive. They run courses for all ages and abilities, including schools; plus they provide open access studio facilities for more experienced artists.
Situated in Great Thurlow (CB9 7LF), they have 2 studios and a Gallery displaying prints from The Curwen Studio archive, which they now own and is free to visit. We have worked closely with Curwen over many years, sharing their important work, and helping with fundraising exhibitons and sales.
