Glasgow Print Studio is an internationally renowned centre for printmaking, dedicated to the advancement and promotion of fine art printmaking through excellence, innovation and accessibility.

“Amazing community of generous artists sharing skills, ideas and support that feeds into my work constantly.”

Glasgow’s international reputation within the contemporary arts has grown significantly and Glasgow Print Studio has been integral to this; providing excellent facilities, supporting emerging artists and ensuring the continued relevance of fine art printmaking.

The studio is both a custodian of traditional printmaking techniques and an innovator in the adaptation and development of printmaking; embracing digital technologies to suit the demands of contemporary artistic production. The galleries provide a platform for contemporary artists, local, national and international to both exhibit and sell their work both in store and online.

A culture of creative learning prevails in the organisation. It is evident in the comprehensive learning programme that extends from access to master classes, ensuring accessibility for a wide range of learners, and fully embraces the ethos of the workshop nurturing a community of artist members.

“(GPS) provides me with space and equipment that I need in order to produce ambitious large-scale work. I appreciate GPS’s support of Poster Club, a collaborative project that I started in 2010.”

Our vision is underpinned by four strategic aims:

• To maintain distinction as an international centre of excellence for printmaking dedicated to quality production, innovation and experimentation; embracing new technologies to inspire and lead contemporary artistic production.
• To advance the development and promotion of printmaking in Scotland and support Scottish based artists through our print publishing and exhibitions programmes, through representation at international art fairs and by sales of their work to public and private collections.
• To provide an environment where everyone can engage in the visual arts and participate in printmaking, embracing lifelong learners and make a contribution to individuals well being and skills development.
• To preserve Scotland’s printmaking heritage through the transferring of traditional skills and the development of GPS archive; providing a crucial living link between current printmaking production and the history of printmaking in the West of Scotland.
