Chair’s Message

Firstly, let me acknowledge was a fantastic year it has been! It always amazes me how much the brilliant WYPW team achieves in the space of 12 months but every year they do and 20232024 had been no exception.

Our funders and supporters have given us the scope to increase our impact this year. Thank you, Arts Council England (ACE), for granting our NPO. As you can see in this report, we have had a busy year one of delivery and we over delivered the targets set in the NPO outcomes plan. In addition to our NPO ACE granted our £114,000 capital investment bid in February 2024.

I would also like to thank the Postcode Neighbourhood Trust who awarded us £25k to help open up and run programming from new meanwhile space in Huddersfield from Feb 2024. In March we opened the newly painted unit in Huddersfield with the opening event featuring the exhibition ’40 at 40’ to start the celebrations of our 40th anniversary. We are very grateful to everyone who helped set the space up and make it a welcoming thriving place for seasoned printmakers, families and people starting their print journeys.

Our course programme is more packed than ever – people coming from America, Germany and beyond to do courses with us online and in person. Our programmatic work has included ‘Breaking Down Barriers’ where we engaged local residents in printmaking to research the barriers to access. We worked with iASK, Support to Recovery and 6 million+ which this will inform future engagement planning.

We have worked with other Huddersfield based NPO arts organisations such as ‘HOOT’ on the Big Draw, engaging over 100 participants.

The Print Day in May event in early May is always a highlight of the year and we added a ‘Speed Date Print Process’ event for members and Friends on the 5th May at WYPW Mirfield and a ‘Right Royal’ Print Day in May on the 6th May in Huddersfield (creating 3D printed castles!). We have added to the members programme with these extra events and members trips to London galleries and private view events.

Our work this year outside of our own printshops has seen us venture to Leeds with the support of Leeds Inspired funding, which allowed us to pop up and teach heritage skills in printmaking and letterpress in venues such as Sunny Bank Mills, The Tetley and M&S Archive. We took part for the first time in the Leeds Creative Skills Festival in Leeds Arena where 2000 people attended and we engaged over 350 young people with traditional printmaking. The 17 April saw the start of ‘Our World, Our Crisis’ exhibition at The Point Gallery in Doncaster with 6 artists: Clare Carter, Sarah Duncan, Liadin Cooke, Tracy Hill, Andrew

Warburton and Jemma Gunning (a mix of film makers, printmakers and textile artists).

‘Print, Music and Movement’ opened on the 8th July at Unit 2 in Huddersfield after a series of ‘off-site’ exhibitions at The Point and Sunny Bank Mills. Six artists: Vanessa

Oo, Nick Loaring, David Armes, Graham Pilling, Cameron Steward and Kai West are Showing as part of Kirklees’ Year of Music. We also enjoyed being part of the opening event for the WOVEN festival on 3rd June in Dewsbury called ‘STRUT’ which was a catwalk event for young people with a skate park and pop up stands including our ‘Print your own 2nd hand t- shirt’ stall for young people. This was very popular with over 2000 people attending the event!

At home, we were able to run another successful Print Fellowship with support from The Arts Society that enabled Cathy Horner to take up her post with us. Welcome to our new Trustees Liz Page and Kath Wynne-Hague and Julie Turner. There has been some internal reorganisation of staff roles to fulfil our new NPO onboarding Vicki Senior as our Creative Producer (Children and Young People) and Fabian Osborne as our Workshop and Learning Support Officer. We have also welcomed new staff members: Sofia Sarwar as Marketing and Retail Officer and James Maxfield as Creative Producer (Exhibitions).

Finally, we share fond memories of some of our WYPW members who passed away this year: Gillian Tyler, Jay Johnson and Sue Daley-Yates.

2023/24 Let’s Create! Year 1 of the new NPO Plan

In April 2023, WYPW and many other existing and new NPO’s, attended the Arts Council’s launch of the new NPO portfolio in the North at The Baltic and we leapt into the new programme with enthusiasm, a newly restructured staff team and new members of the team joining as part of the expanded engagement planned through the NPO. We had also just finished the ‘Making Money Matter’ business development and planning scheme with ModFin consultants – a programme funded through Kirklees Council which helped towards planning for the new and expanded meanwhile space to come later in the year. We looked ahead to a schools project with Battyeford Primary to install a ‘Fairyfields’ exhibition, the ‘Strut’ WOVEN festival event to bring fashion, identity and creativity together through made costume on the catwalk in the centre of Dewsbury and letterpress printing at the Pride festival in June in the centre of Huddersfield.

The new learning and engagement programme for WYPW needed to operate efficiently as it played out against a backdrop of the cost of living crisis from 2021 and 2022, meaning inflation was still at around 9% in April 2023 and WYPW, along with many arts organisations were challenged with maintaining affordability for members and studio holders reliant on affordable access to facilities and space, whilst costs, especially utilities costs were increasing. WYPW was supported towards the end of 2023 with the Postcode Neighbourhood Trust grant of £25,000 which helped support free and low cost activities for Kirklees residents and helped open the new Huddersfield space. Thanks to this grant a colourful, diverse and exciting programme of work including exhibitions, events, workshops and outreach sessions could be achieved alongside a number of commissions from the Council and other partners to showcase printmaking at festivals and events such as the Huddersfield Literature Festival, the Pride festival, the WOVEN events and the Christmas Light Switch On event. These reached thousands of people who otherwise wouldn’t necessarily engage or visit WYPW’s printmaking spaces.

2023 was a year of unprecedented climate extremes, with record-breaking temperatures, greenhouse gas concentrations, and other climate indicators and WYPW’s programme included two exhibitions which looked at climate and natural landscapes through the lens of printmaking. The “Our World, Our Crisis” exhibition visited the Point Gallery in Doncaster and used sustainable and recyclable text

panels and interpretation techniques to ensure a low carbon footprint. After a member’s visit (using public transport) to the Point to view the exhibition, the response to this show was displayed in WYPW’s gallery in Huddersfield. A number of activities through the year, including the “Charity Shop Challenge” screenprinting session to upcycle old clothing brought us closer to another organisation, Thread Republic who we went on to sublet part of our new meanwhile space to at the end of the year.

We joined in with the Year of Music in 2023 – a district wide celebration of the diverse range of musicians, venues, songwriters and associated creative works supporting music in the area. Our “Music and Print” exhibition in the Summer was well received and showcased printmakers working with musicians or inspired by music to create their work. Alongside this was a number of young people’s workshops including Adana printing song lyrics, etching into CDs and vinyl to produce prints and screen printing your own band posters which were attended by over 200 young people.

In the Autumn we extended our reach outside the Kirklees area to do a programme of work in Leeds, funded by Leeds Inspired. We completed a series of letterpress ‘pop ups’ in the Tetley, Sunny Bank Mills and the M&S archive to inspire the next generation of printmakers and showcase traditional printmaking to local residents. From this three new volunteers came on placement with us and one of our volunteers for the project has since become our Print Fellow, funded through the Arts Society. We reached over 150 people with these sessions. These sessions ran at the same time as our Breaking Down Barriers project in Kirklees, working with Karen Stansfield who enthusiastically worked with 6 million+, Support to Recovery and iASK (Asylum Seekers Kirklees) as well as translators and support workers to bring printmaking to groups who don’t currently regularly attend sessions with us to look at barriers to engagement. This information gave information which has informed our audience development planning and outreach schemes.

As we moved into winter, the great ‘lift and shift’ happened as we removed all our kit and equipment from our Unit 2 premises in Huddersfield to a new (much larger) meanwhile space in Huddersfield. Many weeks of painting, cleaning, fixing, adding temporary walls and kitting out the space and we were ready to open for the start of our 40[th] anniversary celebrations with the member’s exhibition “40 at 40”. This large old shop unit gives us the chance in 2024/25 to really be a ‘shop window’ into printmaking and an opportunity to pilot a space in Huddersfield and showcase what we can do to key decision makers.

Ambition, purpose and preparing for capital funding

With a strong vision and mission statement having been prepared and agreed to underpin the NPO bid for the 2023-2026 NPO round and the addition of the 12 week programme of business development through Modfin and additional staffing funded through the NPO uplift, WYPW felt in a strong place to bid for capital funding to support the replacement, addition and improvement of kit and equipment for our new and existing audiences and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our systems ready for the future. We prepared a bid for £114,000 and awaited news in 2024 (which at the time of writing we know was successful). In order to keep us ahead of the game, a leader in the field in terms of print studio provision around us and to extend our reach, this is an important piece of the puzzle to ensure financial sustainability, relevance and effectiveness. It will also allow us to make good decision with better information.

Widening our reach to new audiences

(l to r) One of our young participants taking part in a print session at Unit 2 in Huddersfield; two young participants taking part in our free Big Draw event with HOOT; and young people taking part in screen printing in the street during the Christmas light switch on event

In 2023/24, we widened our engagement with audiences with nearly 40% more people engaging in hands-on activities with WYPW this year in comparison to the previous year – up to nearly 9,500 people in this year. Much of this was due to a focus on hands-on, in person engagement and the success of the People’s Postcode Lottery funded activity programme. Many thanks to Vicki Senior for successfully steering this project and bringing printmaking to

people in Kirklees and beyond. Through partnering with other charity and cultural partners, we improved quality, reached new communities and were able to increase our visibility to nonprintmakers. One of the best examples of the programmes’ success in 2023/24 summer “Music and Print” workshop programme with lyric printing, band poster making and etching with CDs and vinyl. With sessions every week in the school holidays, WYPW gained a number of new followers – some coming back again and again to learn something new. People started to get to know each other and formed friendships and newly interested young people came back time and again and learnt more about the organisation and about printmaking.

We also ensured that we maintained connections with partners including EVOKE, the Cultural Leader’s Group, the National Print Network and Temporary/Contemporary to ensure positive reach and relevance and we enjoyed being part of the Mirfield Rotary’s Green Art Award as judge and workshop provider as well as the Leeds Inspired programme, the Breaking Down Barriers programme funded by the Sir George Martin Trust and the Arts Society funding, enabling us to start another year of supporting a Print Fellow at our Mirfield site.

WYPW aims to support and nurture new artistic talent through our membership programme and its key aim is to broaden our reach to new members, friends, volunteers and trainees.

Resilience

(l to r) A thank you message to a key funder over the last few years – the Postcode Neighbourhood Trust, a snapshot of a social media tile for one of our courses this year; one of the artists whose work sold at the Music and Print exhibition.

WYPW has had a busy year trying to recover back to a position of stability after COVID and then the cost of living crisis which affected the last few years. In 2022/23, there was overall a £11k deficit, much of which was due to a £14k spend on maintenance costs to the Mirfield building with which WYPW has a fix and maintenance lease from Leeds Diocese and a reduced amount of organisational income which is gained through management fees on projects. However, in 2023/24, we recovered to a place of stability – breaking even – with a look ahead to 2024/25 where we should operate with a small surplus at year end. In 2023/24 it was important to balance the books and ensure we had a financially sound business model to endure the cost of living economic problems, the recession that year and to look ahead to the future. With thanks in particular to Caroline Pratt and the team who look after and support the course programme which had its most successful year to date and taught more people to print than in any previous year with more than 50 courses with even more expected in the coming year. The NPO uplift and other grant funding has also increased our ability to deliver to a wider audience, but also with quality.

Excellence is at the heart of everything we do. We maintain very high standards for our teaching, artist support and the public programme and we are thankful to all our artists, tutors and the staff and volunteer team for their excellence and resilience. The fact that many of the artists that use WYPW facilities or have studios here have flourished in 2023/24 such as Lisa Stubbs who was featured in Pressing Matters in January 2024, or member Patrick Walls whose amazing prints and sculptures featured at New Ashgate Gallery Waggon Yard, Farnham or Janine Burrows whose excellent exhibitions at the Biscuit Factory and the Old School House Gallery were met with great enthusiasm, is testament to the skill, ability and resilience of the artists in this area. Congratulations to them.

Great news came throughout the year with various funders supporting our programme is testament to the fantastic track record we have of delivering excellence in printmaking with new and existing audiences and WYPW’s reputation in West Yorkshire which will no doubt, stand us in good stead for 2024/25.

Quality and Ambition

Our ambition to become the centre for print in Yorkshire includes supporting a wide ranging programme of making, exhibiting, artist development and learning and access programmes. As part of this ambition, key components around our public facing work, especially the exhibitions programme have been invested in, and in particular working with external

partners such as the Point Gallery, The Tetley, the M&S archive and Sunny Bank Mills were all important in improving the visibility of our exhibitions programme and project work and reaching people to help give access to print. Many thanks to our exhibition and programming partners and thanks to Len Horsely who helped with transit and hanging of WYPW exhibitions across the North along with our new exhibitions manager, James Maxfield.

We remain excited and committed to bringing our centre of excellence in print to West Yorkshire. By developing our new meanwhile space ‘WYPW@The Piazza’ in Huddersfield, we reached a new audience and gave free access to printmaking facilities and expertise through the grant funded scheme. Through attendance at the Huddersfield Literature Festival and joining in with the ‘Strut’ event for the WOVEN festival, it allows us to take printmaking to a wider audience but with specialist practitioners and experienced artists/tutors to ensure this is done with quality materials and with expertise.

We continue our programme to support artists through CPD programmes, gallery visits and members events and exhibitions with sessions such as ‘How to look for and apply for grant funding’ and our visit to the V&A print and drawings study room and the Woolwich Print Fair.

We are so proud of our members, participants and studio holders and their development over the last year.

Studios and Buildings

(l to r) keys to the new meanwhile space in Huddersfield; members at the AGM in Mirfield gallery; outside of the Mirfield site and the dye garden

All available studios at WYPW remained full in 2023/24 with a long waiting list. Studio 6B remained closed except for use as a textile printing space during the summer due to some need for refurbishment to be used in the winter period. Rent for studios was increased slightly (4%) but was kept low to support our studio artists, particularly after the difficult cost of living crisis and recession. Upgrades were made to studios and the building as a whole with work to the dark room for damp work, repair to the roof slates to prevent leaks and compliance work. This ‘hidden’ work maintains high standards for the workshop and a safe space for all. There remains a long waiting list for studios at WYPW and there is demand from artists for long term working space. Many thanks to all our studio holders for supporting WYPW through a difficult period – especially with events such as Print Day in May, with volunteering work days and with their good humour and advocacy. We expand our studio provision to Huddersfield with the sub-letting of some of the new space to Thread Republic as well as the creation of some shared studio space at the back of the unit.

Finance and governance

Income in 2023/24 increased from £153,589 in 2022/23 to £208,555 in 2023/24 which is predominantly down to an increase in grant funding coming in which is up from £78,263 to £117,214 and course income which is up from £32,240 in 2022/23 to £47,206. Expenditure has increased in 2023/24 in line with NPO planning from £164,615 to £208,555. This is predominantly on the new staff posts and an increase in rent and training. However, this leaves WYPW in 2023/24 in a stable position – with the finishing balance being almost exactly as at start of year which helps put WYPW on a stable footing with a projected small surplus at year end for 2024/25.

At 31 March 2023, the balance of unrestricted reserves stood at £31135 (approximately 10 weeks expenditure) so unfortunately at this moment we cannot commit further income to reserves due to the current climate but we aim to increase this to £38,000 in 2024/25. This takes us back to reserves at pre-Covid 2019/20 levels.

Finances are shown within the financial documents as a separate document.

WYPW continues to thank Tom Ratcliffe who acts as Treasurer on the WYPW Board.

2024/25

Looking into 2024/25 is exciting with lots of plans to make WYPW more visible and broaden our reach as part of the NPO planning. We look forward to working with festival partners and other NPOs on projects such as the WOVEN festival, the Huddersfield Literature Festival, the Big Draw with Hoot creative arts and also at the Pride festival.

We will continue to thrive and flourish in Huddersfield with our new meanwhile space which will allow us to bring some of the best of printmaking in the North to Huddersfield as well as an accessible printmaking programme. We look forward to making plans for working in Huddersfield in the medium term, working with the Council to secure further premises to continue our audience development work in the area while we make plans for our long term relocation. We also look forward to the capital investment programme and investing in kit and equipment for our future.

In common with the rest of the arts and cultural sector, we will continue to face major challenges across all of our income streams with the cost of living crisis still hampering our ability to generate income while utility bills and rents increase. There are areas to be optimistic as young peoples’ engagement is high and schools start to return and the appetite for learning ‘hands on skills’ through our course programme continues to bring in much need stabilising income. Fundraising and donations continue to be competitive and we will look to continue to innovate and adapt to spread risk and generate new lines of income, utilising retail opportunities and attending print fairs and taking on commissions in 2024/25.
