ExhibitionsCelebrating our new look
Delve into our new website to find out what’s coming up in 2024 and why we love printmaking.
New name, new website
When we set up SLAUGHTERHAUS Print Studio in 2010, we named it after the building. Redesigning our website in 2024 was also the perfect time to launch our new name, HAUSPRINT.
Etching Year | 40 weeks | Mondays | June 2024
This Monday evening class is a unique opportunity to build your etching skills over the course of a year. The HAUSPRINT Etching Year is designed to provide stable building blocks for your printmaking future, whatever your starting point. Over 40 weeks you’ll be guided through a specialist programme delivered over three terms which teaches the principles of etching.
On Siss / Phuss: Ziqi Xu in conversation with Livia Wang
“It’s all because I want to see myself, I want to see those unnoticed moments, how they pass by, what is really happening. So that makes the work very personal.”
Crowdfunder appeal – we need your help
We are crowdfunding to raise the money to invest in two new etching presses.
We are asking everyone who has ever been to the studio, bought a print, taken a class, or enjoyed an exhibition opening to support our work going forwards – and to share our appeal with anyone you think might help!
Guerilla Artists: Drawing & Drypoint | 4 alternate Sundays | June 2024
Find unique ways to express yourself, with an exciting combination of external drawing trips and working in the print studio.
Collecting the Looking
“I love drawing really quickly. I love drawing in really difficult situations. I love drawing in the dark. I like what happens when you can’t see everything or when it’s passed and you have to remember it rather than drawing what it actually looks like, so it’s about the experience of looking as much as what I’m looking at.”
We talk to Michelle Avison about building a resilient artistic practice over 30 years.
Artist talk: SooMin Leong
In this video presentation, SooMin discusses her practice, the importance of landscape in her images and how walking can change how we experience the world.
“I think all visual art is a metaphor”
Following a previous career as a forensic psychiatrist, James Anderson’s colourful carborundum and layered woodcuts convey the emotion of inner worlds. We discuss abstraction, inspiration and the hard work of practice with him.
Daydreaming through decoration
“I felt like I was in multiple spaces at the same time – the studio, my source material, my paintings – and I really lost myself in the process of making. I had this epiphany that if I inhabited my paintings long enough then the experience of looking at them would contain the dysphoria I felt, because that’s how art works, it’s a sort of a mirror.”

Monotype with water washable inks | 3 Saturdays | June 2024
Explore monotype printing over three mornings at HAUSPRINT. This course is designed to give you a really good understanding of using water washable printing inks to make painterly monotypes.
Skellig Way (Road)
Made after Michelle Avision’s 2024 residency in County Kerry, Ireland, this is a monotype with painted and drawn elements.
Blue Green March 2023
This print is one of a number of recent prints exploring and exploiting the expressive potential of the printmaking technique known as carborundum relief printing. This was developed by the French American artist Henri Goetz (1909 – 1989) in the 1960s who introduced it to a number of other artists notably Joan Miro. Miro wrote to Goetz saying ‘the results are fascinating and very beautiful. The artist can express himself with more richness and freedom…which gives a beautiful substance and a more powerful line’.
