Inspiring Suffolk’s Emerging Creatives: A New Printmaking Opportunity

At Mill Tye Gallery, we’re passionate about championing creative growth and offering opportunities that open new doors. That’s why we’re proud to be working with Gainsborough’s House in Sudbury on a FREE printmaking programme launching in September 2025 — designed for anyone aged 18–25 who’s not in formal education next year.

This exciting initiative offers participants free access to professional printmaking facilities, workshops with visiting artists, and the chance to collaborate with like-minded creatives. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to reconnect with your artistic practice, this could be the perfect way to develop new skills and creative confidence.

A Platform to Share Your Vision

We’re thrilled to be hosting the final exhibition of the programme here at Mill Tye Gallery in March 2026, giving participants the opportunity to present their work in a professional gallery setting. It’s a fantastic chance to showcase your creativity to the public and build your artistic portfolio.

This programme is part of our continued commitment to supporting emerging artists across Suffolk, and we believe strongly in the power of art to connect, empower and inspire.

How to Apply

If you — or someone you know — is aged 18–25 and ready to explore a creative journey in 2025, this opportunity could be the first step toward something truly exciting.

Applications are open now until Friday 1 August 2025.

Let’s get inky and creative — and support the next wave of Suffolk’s artistic talent.
