INKED Print Festival is the first printmaking festival in the Forest of Dean, brought to the area by The Yard Print Studio!
In 2025 The Yard Print Studio turned 5 and to mark the occasion we are celebrating printmaking in all its forms. Thanks to Arts Council England funding we are offering an exciting programme through the INKED Festival including printmakers residencies, community print days and workshops, leading up to a two-day print fair and exhibition hosting stalls, demos, drop-in workshops, talks and food stalls.

Apply for a residency - Now closed
At The Yard Print Studio we are thrilled to offer this opportunity as part of the INKED Festival 2025 programme.
We are offering three creative practitioners one-week paid time in the studio with tutoring and technical support from professional printmaker and studio founder; Nichola Goff.
The printmakers residencies are designed for artists to take paid time out from their normal routine to spend an intensive week in a printmaking studio exploring ideas and new techniques or developing a new body of work within the printmaking discipline.
Work produced during these residency weeks will be celebrated as part of the INKED Print Festival in November 2025.
