An educational day of hands-on printmaking was hosted by a Diss crafting centre, raising £120 in the process.
Around 100 people visited designermakers21 on April 13, with the majority taking the opportunity to try their hand at cyanotype, lithography, linocut and screen process methods.
The annual event gathered donations towards the future of designermakers21, which recently secured enough funds to buy its building in St Nicholas Street.
Marco Rayment, treasurer for designermakersCIO, described the print in action day as a way to “promote, improve and advance education in and appreciation of the arts”.
He added: “There was a real buzz at designermakers21, with lots of people getting stuck-in to some great printing experiences, and enjoying the print exhibition upstairs.”
Having bought the building, all funds are now going towards a £46,000 target, which will be matched by the Government, to fund repairs.
