Access Information

We were thrilled to open our beloved Bluecoat Print Studios earlier this year, and launch a new membership for creatives - the Bluecoat Artist Membership.

If you are an aspiring or active printmaker who would like to be part of a local printmaking community consider becoming a Bluecoat Artist. Your membership allows you to be at the heart of our creative community, book our Intaglio and Screenprinting Studios for personal use, and offers some other incredible perks.

The Studios are currently open for hire on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 9:00am - 5:00pm.

With your Membership, you will...

  • Be able to hire our Intaglio and Screenprinting Studios
  • Have a stall at the annual Bluecoat Artist Member’s Print Fair
  • Receive monthly newsletters from our Print Studio Manager Ivy that includes updates on our Print Studio and a list of local opportunities for artists
  • Receive 10% off Bluecoat print workshops and courses
  • Receive 10% off at Cass Art, next door to Bluecoat where you’ll be able to purchase supplies for your practice
