Warringah Printmakers Studio

Warringah Printmakers Studio An access studio for printmaking with an emphasis on safer practices. Manly Vale, Sydney

Warringah Printmakers Studio is a community based, not-for-profit organisation promoting safer printmaking techniques. Studio members have access to classes, workshops, studio facilities, regular exhibitions & a variety of exciting, innovative projects. After becoming incorporated in 1997, the Warringah Printmakers Studio started working towards turning the workshop into a safer space by using alt

ernative techniques to traditional etchants and solvents. The teachers at that time were very supportive of the initiative and kept a diary of observations about the newer techniques & materials. Knowledge acquired was shared and problem solving became part of the printmaking routine. The Warringah Printmakers Studio acknowledges & thanks all of the printmakers who helped in our development as a safer printmaking studio.

NEW WORKSHOP ADDED TO THE 2026 PROGRAM: We’re excited to announce a new one-day workshop with Seraphina Martin, exploring the rich and surprising possibilities of viscosity colour printing.

Viscosity printing uses inks of different consistencies, applied with large rollers, to print multiple colours from a single inked plate in one pass through the press. The results can be bold, layered and unexpected, with up to five colours printed at once.

Participants are invited to bring existing plates to transform through colour, stencils and botanical materials. These may include collagraph plates, solar plates, drypoints or TetraPak plates. Inks and paper are provided, and participants will finish the workshop with a beautiful portfolio of fine art prints.

Seraphina Martin studied printmaking at the National Art School in Paris before moving to Sydney, where she has taught at the Sydney University Art Workshop for many years. She studied viscosity colour printing at Atelier 17 under master printer William Hayter, who developed the technique.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn a dynamic colour process from an artist with deep knowledge of the method.

Viscosity Workshop with Seraphina Martin
1-day workshop
📆 Sunday 26 July 2026, 10am - 4pm
📍 Warringah Printmakers Studio, Lovett Street & Condamine Street, Manly Vale NSW 2093, Australia

Tuesday morning in the studio and things are already buzzing for the start of Term 2 ✨ Presses rolling, plates developing, and a great mix of returning members and new faces settling in.

We had everything from TetraPak and collagraph to linocut in class, it’s always exciting to see such a range of techniques coming together in one space.
