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: Eleanor Watson
Eleanor grapples with her attraction to decorative interiors, finding beauty in pattern, object and light, in this video presentation.
“Revealing the unknown is always the thing I’m interested in”
SooMin Leong’s practice focuses on the transition from one place to another, both through literal journeys and the many stages that go into making her prints. Each is a story informed by the experience and impression of travelling. We interviewed her about her own journey into printmaking.
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.”

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.
Canvey Island II
I have been making prints of Thames views for some time and more recently became drawn to quays and ships’ moorings. I enjoy the architectural, sometimes almost abstract shapes they make, and their strength but also slight dilapidation.
New Concordia Quay
I enjoy the architectural, sometimes almost abstract shapes of quays and ships’ moorings, their strength but also slight dilapidation. I add hand colouring to my prints using coloured pencil techniques and print on Fabriano Artistico 300gsm.
