Nuclear weapons could destroy us all, right now – so why aren’t we talking about them?

Sometimes the threat slides into view – Russia invades Ukraine – but that doesn’t make the weapons more dangerous. They’re always dangerous. And one day, deliberately or accidentally, they’ll be used again.

From the team that created the award-winning Status and Confirmation, comes a show about a new nuclear weapons treaty – one that’s trying to give the power to eliminate nuclear weapons to the states, and people, who don’t possess them.

This workshop will introduce you to a version of collograph which uses relief inking methods to produce prints using our fantastic range of etching presses and equipment in the print workshop.

You’ll use oil based inks, stencils, collage and textures to create an exciting series of prints. This is a great introduction to the collograph technique.

Monoprinting uses a plate and stencil process and multiple layers of oil-based ink to make unique prints.

This process is a great first introduction into printmaking – you’ll learn about inks and paper, and use our fantastic range of etching presses and equipment in the workshop.

Starting out with simple shapes and block colours you can build up monoprints with complex designs, textures and shades to create a series of prints onto paper.

A panel debate to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week.

In response to the number of working-age adults unable to work due to poor mental health, health secretary Wes Streeting told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that mental-health conditions are being ‘overdiagnosed’ - a claim backed up by more than four in five GPs who believe that the ups and downs of normal life are being wrongly redefined as mental disorders.
