Grey Hand Press is a printmaking studio which provides contract printing and publishing options for local and international artists. Our mission is to make printmaking an accessible medium for artists, and to provide fine art print education to printmakers of all ages. Working from a foundation in traditional techniques, we are equally motivated to innovate experimental and hybrid approaches in response to the needs of our artists or in the interest of furthering best practices in the region.

The studio specialises in lithography (stone, aluminium, polyplate and mokulito), book arts, relief (woodcut and linocut) and intaglio (etching, aquatint, drypoint, mezzotint).

Our services include:

• Publishing

• Contract Printing

• Workshops & Private Instruction

• Consultation

• Printmaking Tools & Materials

Located within the brand new Northgate Workstores precinct on Brisbane’s northside, the studio conducts workshops in-house as well as hosting guest instructors to teach masterclasses and specialised techniques. Our printers are also available to teach select classes at other venues throughout the region.

Collaborative Printing

Working with a collaborative print studio has benefits for many types of artists - printmakers and non-printmakers alike. Artists who work in other mediums such as painting, drawing, sculpture, design and digital media are able to produce work in a new medium guided by the expertise of the studio printers. Many artists who are already experienced printmakers themselves will often approach an editioning studio to create a suite of work in a print medium outside of their current oeuvre. This allows artists to create work in an exciting new medium, without the expense or inconvenience of learning the method themselves.
