inspiring innovative printmaking
Baldessin Studio is a place where creativity blossoms. The 1970s bluestone building, designed and built by George Baldessin and set in bushland landscape, is quintessentially Australian. It is peaceful and sufficiently removed from the distractions of everyday life to support the exploration of technique. For over 21 years, this studio has witnessed the development of some of this country’s finest printmakers.
Supporting artists
A retreat from the city with world class printmaking facilities and expert teachers, the Baldessin Studio is a not for profit organisation which attracts a host of talented artists. Beginners can work alongside them and expect technical expertise, guidance and inspiration.

freedom for creativity
Artists and students may choose to enrol for serious instruction in a variety of traditional and contemporary printmaking techniques. There, they can draw on the experience of master printmakers who encourage experimentation and a willingness to push creative boundaries whilst mastering and respecting the traditions of the craft.
