Workshops in Studio and elsewhere
Moving Creature has been running workshops on a regular basis since 2013. The workshops vary from Lithography, Lino cut, Woodcut, Solar plate, Screen printing, Drawing and Book binding. See our current list of workshops.
We are always open to something new. If you have a skill to share or want to learn something in particular, get in touch so that we can discuss the possibilities.
John has been privileged to run workshops with groups as far away as Fitzroy Crossing and as close as Bellerive. They have been in Screen printing, Acrylic ground etching, basic lino cut and reduction lino cut. Other methods are available.
Studio Hire
For skilled practitioners who have a membership, blocks of time can be booked for use of the studio on a particular press. The studio may be shared with other members or if needed exclusive use is available.

Once having completed an orientation and are experienced with equipment a member can hire the studio for working by themselves. Member activities have included exhibitions and print exchanges.
