The Hazelnut Press
Heather Haythornthwaite
The Hazelnut Press is where artists develop intaglio and relief printmaking skills, experiment with techniques, different inks, tools and equipment. We have four main presses: a Rollaco Boxer etching press, two Albions and a Farley proofer. Other printmakers who work here feed into the creative pool as we support, critique and enable the members to make ever better prints. Drypoint and aquatinted etchings, linocuts, monoprints, collagraphs and japanese woodblock prints are methods used here.
My own prints are narratives. Often they depict or refer to overlooked places and their inhabitants. I show at Frances Iles Gallery, Rochester.

The Reading Room Press
Miles Wigfield
My main aspiration at the press is to publish – and print – items of literary interest particularly of my own literary heroes, so far Forrest Reid, A. S. J. Tessimond and T. E. Lawrence. It has also been a pleasure to commission wood engravers to illustrate these publications: Paul Kershaw, Ian Stephens and Jim Westergard to date. Celebratory broadsheets, family wedding invitations, and other ephemera e.g. for Parenthesis have always been rewarding and great fun.
