NewBridge studio-holder Mark Bletcher was commissioned to produce a series of linocut prints to document each of the nine events in 2024-25!
Mark’s prints capture the sowing of friendships and collaborations that might not sprout for years but set up artists to stick with creating their own versions of the art world for the long term, on their own terms, and in ways that are shared, supportive and enjoyable. The Collective Studio consistently emphasises fun, enjoyment, confidence, communality and imagination, but how we devise and deliver the sessions varies wildly from year to year.
A deliberate decision this year has been to make the monthly activities more immersive, aesthetically stimulating and surprising, as a method of helping people to take the plunge into something, collectively.
The Collective Studio is an annual development programme for early-career artists and/or recent graduate artists and creative practitioners. Find out more here.
