ELP manage a spacious and modern printmaking studio, which provides an open access facility for printmakers, and run workshops, residencies and educational programmes for its members and the general public.
The group has exhibited in the V&A Museum of Childhood, Bankside Gallery, the Tea Building, the Princes Foundation, London’s City Hall [Space] Gallery and Spike Island in Bristol and has also travelled shows to Germany, France and Italy. An exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum is in the planning. Ever interested in further exploring traditional and modern printmaking techniques as an art form, East London Printmakers are always interested in meeting other groups and artists for artistic exchange and collaboration. Exhibiting at the Freud Museum London is a fantastic opportunity for the artists to experiment with 3D objects and installation as well as print on paper and exhibiting work in situ.
