Can you print independently?
If you've been to one of our workshops, or have learnt elsewhere - this is for you.
This is not a tutored workshop!
Come along to this relaxed, untutored printmaking workshop, the perfect activity for anyone with previous experience who wants to continue their craft. If you have attended a printmaking class before and want to keep creating in a supportive, social setting without investing in the equipment, this open-access session is for you.
This is a fantastic opportunity to experiment, develop your work, or simply enjoy a mindful evening surrounded by like-minded creatives. You will have access to a wide range of hand-printing supplies and will be able to learn from your peers and share ideas. While no formal tuition is provided, your hosts will be on hand to offer support.
You’ll have access to shared tools and materials, including:
  • Gelli plates, paints, and rollers
  • Lino cutting tools and pre-cut lino stamps
  • Tetrapak plates and drypoint tools
  • Acrylic sheets for monoprinting
  • A small A4+ printing press
  • A range of collage-friendly materials
  • Bookbinding awls, bone folders, and limited thread and needles

Hi, we’re Emily and Jess, the creative minds behind Something Good Workshops!
Our journey began in 2019 when Emily launched Something Good Workshops (originally known as MADEptford) as a way to spread crafty joy and raise funds for running the London Marathon. What started as a one-time idea quickly grew into a passion for bringing people together through creativity. Since then, we’ve hosted a wide variety of workshops, from arm knitting to body casting, in all kinds of spaces - corporate offices, cosy pubs, pop-up shops, and even people’s homes.
After taking a short break, we’re back with fresh energy and an exciting new partnership. Jess has joined the team, and together, we’re on a mission to spark joy and empower people to explore their creativity in relaxing, welcoming spaces. We believe there’s something magical about slowing down, working with your hands, and leaving with something you’ve made yourself - whether it’s a chunky knit blanket, a personal shrine, or a collage bursting with personality.
What makes us unique? We’re all about creating an environment where people feel at ease, whether they’re a total beginner or a seasoned maker. Over the years, we’ve held workshops in so many different settings, and one thing always stands out: the joy people feel when they realize just how creative they can be.
We’re not just here to teach a craft - we’re here to help you unwind, have fun, and leave with a tangible reminder that you’re capable of making something good.
We can’t wait to meet you at a workshop soon!
