East London Printmakers is an artists’ cooperative based on Mare Street in Hackney. Set up 12 years ago to create a support group for artists using printmaking, they now run a busy studio with facilities for etching, screenprint, relief printing and photopolymer/photoetching. With over 200 members the group organises regular exhibitions in London and internationally as well as workshops, artist’s talks and a residency programme. The group is almost entirely self-funded and is run by a group of voluntary committee members but all members are encouraged to organise events and have a say in the running of the studio. www.eastlondonprintmakers.co.uk
