Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire printmaking workshop

Helen Boden has been creating prints for over 30 years. She has a Fine Art degree and a Masters in Printmaking.

Bodenpress offers print sessions - a chance to work together creating your own prints with a tutor at hand. Helen teaches courses in photopolymer and copper etching, drypoint, monoprint, screenprint, reduction linocut, collagraph together with advanced techniques in colour printing to established artists and the new printmaker.

Artists who have been working at Bodenpress for a few years can then be offered exhibiting opportunities. These exhibitions are informative and rewarding (see literary work)

In summer 2021 Bodenpress relocated to Tring Rural, which sits on the border of Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire

Courses are taught by Helen Boden MA an established printmaker who trained at Chelsea school of Art.

Bodenpress is a friendly creative environment in which to expand your print knowledge.
