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.

Baldessin Studio is a non-profit open-access printmaking studio that is a Registered Charity with Deductible Gift Recipient status and all donations over $2 are tax deductible. Run by a dedicated team of volunteers and a part-time studio manager, Baldessin Studio needs donations and support to help keep the doors open.
