Printer’s pause

The team will be leaving Badger Press on 31st January and there are discussions currently taking place about a group taking over. In the meantime there will be a short hiatus whilst arrangements are put in place. Apologies if you’re keen to get on a course or come and use the Press. You can continue to contact us via the online form and will reply and pass on your email to the new team. The website will continue to run and we will update it with news of the handover.

In the meantime, on behalf of Kirstie, Paul, Angela and myself I would like to thank you all for your help and support. We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it’s been a real thrill meeting so many people that have now become good friends. We’ll still be at the studio and hope to help it to continue, we’re needed by our (ever expanding) families and learning to cope with all the new things in our lives. We love printmaking and we love The Badger Press, it is a truly exceptional, inspiring and wonderful place and it is held together by the passion of our talented artists. We salute you all.

Creative Days, A Shop Window for Talents!

Do you have a creative idea? How about having a space to host your creative event/project/idea? Then take part in Creative Days, A Shop Window for Talents!

We could provide you with an empty shop for three days in March, so you can turn your idea into reality.  All you need to do is just send us your idea.

Creative Days aims to celebrate Havant Borough’s creative talents on the 9th, 10th and 11th March 2012. Empty shops will be unlocked, so creative projects can flourish in Havant’s town centre and Leigh Park. Priority will be given to individuals/groups, who have a link with the Borough (via the workplace or residence…please make that clear in your application).

As we are celebrating Havant Borough’s creativity, all formats will be accepted.  Each entry will be allocated 5 minutes in total, so bear that in mind when you send us in your idea! (For example, send a video of maximum 5 minutes or send a written document, which should not take more than 5 minutes to read. These are just a few suggestions. Be creative, this is your time to shine so show us your talent and potential!)

Your idea should be received by post at the latest on the 2nd January 2012. Please send your ideas to:

Léa Guzzo,
Cultural Officer
Community Development
Havant Borough Council,
