Making art at DCA

DCA is not just about exhibitions and cinema. It is also a place to make art. In fact, lots of artists use our Print Studio every week to create high quality print editions, working with our friendly and experienced technical team.

You may have seen some of the prints they have produced on show around the building and it�s possible to learn more about the processes involved by taking part in one of our regular courses that are listed in this guide. We also have traditional photographic darkrooms as well as resources for digital scanning, image manipulation and printing.

Courses and Workshops

Choose from a fantastic range of courses, led by friendly, experienced and supportive tutors. All our courses are designed for beginners unless we let you know otherwise. Just bring yourself � all materials are included in these low cost classes. If you can�t find the best class for you, you can also arrange one-to-one tuition with us at very reasonable rates.
