Before your first booking
One induction covers all three stations.
Induction
Ninety minutes with Sofia, free, Wednesdays or Fridays. Press, acid, ventilation, first aid, and where things live.
Book
Email with the date and the station. We hold it for 48 hours without payment, then it goes back in the pool.
Turn up
Bring plates, paper and ink, or buy downstairs at shop price. Leave the bed clean and the acid labelled.
Member studio
Six bench spots at €180 a month, which includes bench space, storage, and the member rate on the press. There is a waiting list and it moves about twice a year.
Editions
If you are printing an edition and want a second pair of hands, Sofia charges €25 an hour and is worth considerably more.
Book an induction
One email, one date, and you are on the press the same week.
