Glasgow Print Studio was founded in 1972 as an artist-led initiative providing accessible workshop facilities and later a gallery space for artists making original prints. Now, as an internationally acclaimed centre of excellence in fine art printmaking, GPS promotes contemporary and innovative printmaking and supports the development and expression of artists’ practices. Its state-of-the-art workshop lies at the centre of its activities, which encompass publishing and exhibition programmes, print sales, courses and an archive.
Graphic Studio Dublin was founded in 1960 to teach traditional printmaking skills then unavailable in Irish art colleges. These techniques of etching, aquatint, stone lithography, wood and lino-cutting are kept alive alongside contemporary techniques like photo-intaglio and screen-printing.
Graphic Studio Gallery was established in 1988 to promote the work of Irish and international printmakers through group and solo exhibitions.
