Belfast Print Workshop
As part of the Creative Youth Partnership Belfast Print Workshop offers a touring programme in Print Making facilitated by one of the Workshops professional artists. Belfast Print Workshop offers the following programmes:

Mono Print Making
Various ways exist of making a monotype they usually involve applying printing ink to a plate or Perspex surface to produce unique results. This is a 'unique image' – no further ‘edition copies’ can exist. As a number of different images can be made relatively quickly the method allows a turnover of visual ideas and also the transfer from the surface to the paper gives freshness and translucency to the image.

Dry Point Print Making
An Intaglio method in which the surface of the plate is scratched with a point. These isisions leave an ink-holding 'burr' that gives a rich velvety quality to the lines of a drypoint print.

Collograph Printmaking
The printed result of a collage where a variety of materials are glued together on a base and printed as a combined relief and intaglio plate.

Creative Youth Partnership
'Creative Youth Partnerships (CYP) is a 3-year scheme that will create, develop and sustain arts programmes, activities and initiatives for children and young people aged 3-25 years throughout Northern Ireland.
It is being established within the context of Unlocking Creativity and at a time of significant revision to the Northern Ireland Schools' Curriculum.
The scheme will develop opportunities for creativity within the formal education environment, community and voluntary sectors and other areas of the public sector relating to children and young people.
CYP provides subsidies to schools, colleges, youth clubs and community youth organisations. It does not distribute funding to professional arts organisations.’
‘Programme - Arts organisations on the CYP database provide a range of short-term programmes including performances, workshops and exhibitions. The programmes enable arts organisations to extend the life of existing work for the benefit of wider audiences of children and young people and to build new connections with schools, colleges, youth clubs and community groups.’
