Derby Print Open 2025

The call for submissions is now open! We invite printmakers based in the UK to submit prints towards our 8th annual Derby Print Open.

Studio Membership

Our studio was set up with the ethos that printmaking should be accessible to anyone who is interested in exploring and developing their own creative practice with print. We are actively working to create a supportive, vibrant and diverse local printmaking community.

Membership of Green Door is open to everyone: from novice to established professional artist. To use our open access facilities, you must first be a member of the studio.

If you would like to use our facilities, and have some previous experience, you must first demonstrate that you have a good working knowledge of the processes you wish to use. This could be by taking part in one of our courses, or providing sufficient evidence of prior learning.
