    Albatross Print Studio 

    East Quay, Watchet


    2021 saw the realisation of what, for me, has been a dream ambition since moving to Somerset in 2011. As part of the amazing, new East Quay arts complex in Watchet, fellow printmaker Sarah Ward and I opened a print studio. All through my art career I have used open access studios to create my work, these have been vital, as I have never had a space where the large, expensive equipment I use at these facilities could be accommodated. I enjoy being a member of Double Elephant Print Workshop but the travel to Exeter, the need to take everything with me is restricting. At last I  have my own space, where I can spread out and experiment, and where we will welcome other artists to share the resources of a fully-equipped studio along with ideas, knowledge, collaboration and enthusiasm.

    East Quay opened in September 2021, housing contemporary galleries and a collection of creative and heritage businesses, artists and makers’ studios. Albatross is on the ground floor, opening onto the central public outdoor space and next door to the café. Our other neighbours will be Two Rivers, makers of handmade paper for artists and a geology lab for Geckoella environmental consultancy. Other artist friends from the Contains Art shipping container days are applying for studios. It will be so exciting.
    We are starting to offer open access as a resource for professional artists and a programme of workshops begins in 2022. We have facilities for intaglio, relief and silk screen printing.
