An international celebration of printmaking and swapping!

You can view their entry to this diverse showcase of printworks, in the Cafe Gallery from 30th January – 14th February 2026.
Story of the Exchange
The 20:20 Print Exchange was originally set up in 2009 to link two print workshops with similar names, Hot Bed Press and Red Hot Press, which soon inspired a bigger project to link workshops around the UK and the world, and the 20:20 Print Exchange was born.
The idea behind the exchange is a simple one…
Each artist produces an edition of 25 prints. Artists submit their prints to Hot Bed Press in groups of 5 as part of a print studio, college department or collective group. After the momentous print sort at Hot Bed Press, each artist and workshop receives a random selection box of 20 prints back.
Prints are exchanged, exhibited, and shared with a vibrant global print community!
Opportunities and Facilities at Taigh Chearsabhagh
Introductory Printmaking and Darkroom Workshops
Our Print Workshop and Darkroom are a creative hub within Taigh Chearsabhagh. If you are an established artist and want to learn a brand new technique, or if you are a complete novice, the introductory beginners workshops will give you a good starting knowledge of how to use the Print Workshop and/or Darkroom.
These courses will teach you to confidently use the work areas on an ongoing basis to develop your work. They are inspired by the desire to offer accessible, fun and creative Printmaking and Photography classes for beginners and improvers.
You can read more about these facilities on the Print Workshop + Darkroom page.
