EXCELLENT Based on 12 reviews Harry Cobbold2025-07-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cristian ran a letterpress workshop for our group which was fun and very informative - starting with some history before getting hands on to make some art. The passion and devotion he has for letterpress really shines through and we all left with some amazing prints to take home! Would highly recommend.

Have done several workshops at Frankenstein press and have loved every one! It’s a really friendly and welcoming studio with knowledgeable teachers, each with their own creative practice. Their passion for creating shines through and makes for a really enjoyable and engaging experience. Victoria Colbourne2024-09-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A workshop at Frankenstein Press is a wonderful gift. I bought a voucher for my sisters birthday, she went with a group of friends, they had lots of fun and were thrilled with their linocut prints ! Very professional, lovely surroundings and friendly instructors. Melanie Waycott2024-09-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a fun and relaxed evening creating our own work. I went along not having a clue what to do, Anna talked us through possible themes and ideas and we all created the most wonderful pieces - all so very different! Debra Nelmes2024-09-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most fabulous experience and evening at Frankenstein Press. It was such fun and I highly recommend it as a present or just to enjoy yourself or with a friend or partner. Male or Female, it is very enjoyable for all. We were thrilled with what we produced under very professional and fun guidance. Highly recommended activity. I have framed my print and often get complimentary comments about it - nobody can believe that i did it myself!! love it. If you haven't already done it - get booked in! Sarah Classick2024-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience, we booked a private workshop for a team social afternoon and had such a great time. Anna was really knowledgeable and experienced and did a great job taking a group with varying levels of experience and skill through the workshop. Everyone had a fantastic tine. Would definitely recommend Sarah Palmer2024-01-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cara Wilton2024-01-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A group of us did the linocut workshop with Anna and couldn't recommend it more. She was super helpful, welcoming and lovely, and Frankenstein Press is a really great space! All round a really fun evening spent hanging out and getting creative. We'll be back for sure! Steph Brown2023-11-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my 30th birthday party at the Frankenstein press and I cannot recommend it highly enough! The fact that we all came away with a print we loved, despite all being new to lino printing, is a testament to Anna's brilliant teaching. I especially loved getting to use the old fashioned press. The store has such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere and there is a kitchen and courtyard at the back to hang out in afterwards. I will definitely be coming back!!
