## **oBJeCTIVes AnD ACTIVITIes**
The company was established for charitable purposes, to advance education for public benefit through the promotion of the arts, in particular the art of printmaking and through providing education and training in this art.
Its mission is to provide exceptional resources, training and inspiration for all and space for artists to create, and by doing so, advance printmaking and educate the public in the wide - reaching art of printmaking.
Spike Print Studio (SPS) sustains, promotes and advances fine art printmaking as a contemporary visual art form; as a focus for exhibitions and commissions; in schools, with community groups, to artists and to the general public. As such, the company’s activities are undertaken to further its charitable purposes for the public benefit. The Trustees have considered the general guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
The studio is a regional asset and nationally acclaimed open access print studio. It provides comprehensive and exceptional print facilities for fine art printmaking in both traditional and new technologies by continuously upgrading and enhancing current provision and working with the best tutors or specialists who are usually practicing artists themselves. In consultation with its current stakeholders—members, students, and the general public who changed their working and entertainment patterns due to the pandemic and the current economic climate, we experimented with new ways of delivery our service. Because our users had confidence that participation in print was good for their artistic practice and personal wellbeing it was able to embrace change.
## _Covid-19 Contd_
There is no respite for the global economy. Two years ago, it was shaken by the onset of the pandemic, as an overwhelming health crisis has now turned into an overwhelming economic
crisis. Along with everyone else we have faced another year of navigating through the pandemic and its associated lockdowns, trying to manage its impact on our studio and community users and their expectations. Spike Print Studio went into lockdown on 17 March 2020 and we could not complete our learning programme for the spring term or accrue the income that would normally arrive from a new programme. Although we started to feel the financial impact of the pandemic during 2020 -2021 we were supported by ACE Emergency Grants, furlough and BCC business support together with rent reduction from our landlord., We knew that the operational challenge would not become clear until this Trustees Annual Report 2021 -20212. All restrictions were not lifted fully until 22 February 2022.
## _ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE_
Achievements are measured in this context and with the team that has pulled together brilliantly despite a myriad of challenges.
## _Key objectives for 2021-2022 were to:_
- Ensure sustainability of studio
- Consider the continuing key risks facing the charity at we came into the second year of the pandemic and to take mitigating actions where needed particularly not achieving the level of income from learning and membership and to apply for grants to ensure survival. Normally self -funded and self - reliant, this has been key to our survival.
- We have reached the end of a very arduous year particularly with staff needs, staff health and recruiting new technicians. The team is strong and positive, and this reflects in the studio atmosphere as a place of welcome, refuge and creativity.

The Studio Director’s focus has been on strategic development and funding bids for key personnel, community projects and stand -alone equipment improvement to secure the immediate and long - term future of the studio. The focus also remains on Investing and developing our audience and embracing the growth in demand for access to print and in particular, membership. The studio began to create a hybrid model that allows it to work with maximum flexibility whilst ensuring it operates a viable business which takes into account current structural shifts. It has seen that access to learning and a desire to learn is sustained behaviour and feel confident because the demand for print education and open access facilities continues to be high. SPS has implemented a new business model that is more fluid enabling it to offer different types of access to learning and discovering the creative process provided by printmaking.
Through its accessible learning programme, membership, editioning and exhibitions it continues to secure a progressive future for its community, but to meet demand and provide more people with access additional skills are needed and are currently part of a funding bid.
## _Professional Development_
_- Bursary Awards and Opportunities 2021-2022_
## _Home Print Packs and Mobile Print Project 2020–2022_
This Show Me How community -based project was able to run throughout the pandemic with the support of Quartet Community Foundation and Bristol City Council’s Originators Fund. This project reached communities who were isolated by the pandemic. The strong positive response to it has led to recommendations for further project funding to continue the work in the city with further funding from Bristol City Council.
## _Show Me How delivered the following:_
- work with 8 organisations delivering 19 workshops to 300 participants
- one exhibition link with Grayson Perry and Young Carers through Bristol Museum & Art Gallery and an invitation to work with M Shed on a future exhibition about slavery, eight collaborative artworks and hundreds of individual artworks
- brought creative workshops to wider events
- partnered groups to devise specific activities
- artwork with young carers contributed to GCSE portfolios
- online sharing through Padlet
- peer learning via the way we taught the sessions
- organisations have exhibited the artwork in their communities
## _Show Me How_
Show Me How is an umbrella name for a community printmaking education that creates opportunities for young people (16 -25) who have limited access to the arts and for other groups in society who do not have opportunities and to the production of art.

A work experience opportunity which complements our Member Technician Scheme is now in its second year and attracts energetic, ambitious people who work well in the studio. We specifically focus on young people who would not normally access these opportunities.
*These on hold until January 2023
## _The Learning Programme_
Printmaking education allows access with no skills or qualifications and can be adapted to suit all levels of ability. SPS provides the complete spectrum of print education - from beginners’ courses to print scholarships and bursaries and it creates opportunities to meet and work with professional artists.
include working at home by providing equipment, materials and plans and online working. If we had to go into lockdown again, we are well placed to sustain this learning.
The portfolio courses normally have an offsite gallery exhibition at the end of the year. We have not been able to do this but will hold 3 years of student exhibitions later in 2022.
We have an online learning offer in a variety of courses and techniques including ,Bookmaknig, Portfolio courses, Photoshop to print techniques. Looking to the future, we will recruit a specialist technician to streamline and develop this offer.
The Learning Programme is our largest income stream, overtaking membership income for the last 3 years.
## _Studio Membership_
## Accessible, affordable open access
The studio encourages dialogue and exchanges of ideas and welcomes initiatives and new directions from its central to the studio’s ethos and for many it is the starting point of a life time engagement with the art of print making and a love of art. We create professional development opportunities for students and graduates.
The programme is exciting, accessible and professional, and as a result, many courses would normally be oversubscribed. The courses are very popular and we regularly receive positive feedback. A large number of course attendees attend more than one course or go on to become members.
The courses are competitively priced and offers concessions on a case -by -case basis.
The programme adapts to the needs and demands of our communities and is reviewed each year in order to harness the desire for varied courses at all levels.
Membership and open access are the beating heart of the studio and makes it vibrant, engaging and a place for exchanging ideas and supporting one another.
## Individual Instruction
SPS provides an average teacher to pupil ratio of 1 to 8, so the quality of teaching is extremely high and there is a great deal of opportunity for one - to -one instruction.
## High calibre of artist members
Members require a high degree of expertise in order to work independently in the studio and this ensures the calibre of work produced is high. SPS interviews prospective members to establish their skill level and encourages those without appropriate experience to attend courses. This is an important part of SPS’s activities and mission. SPS believes it is important to build and expand on what has already been established in the field of print and to contribute to current national and international dialogues and debates involving the practice.
We are now running 4x 1 Year Porfolio Courses and during the pandemic adapted them to

To complement this activity, SPS continues expanding its collaborative work with emerging and established fine artists. A high proportion of SPS tutors who are self -employed artists, comes from its membership and SPS is proud to have established a talented and invested tutor group from its membership. Many of these tutors are also members of the studio.
Our members connected during lockdown online through Spiked Coffee Mornings, Lockdown diaries and Members’ posts. This still continues as the members find them incredibly useful forums which they control and organize.
## _Fundraising_
Members’ fundraising for the studio
SOS Buy a Print: our professional members printed exclusive, limited -edition prints and are donated all the proceeds to the studio to help it survive the next few bumpy months. We do not rely on grants for our sustainability and are normally self -sufficient through membership fees, our learning programme and print sales.
Artists Anna Harley, Chitra Merchant, Anna Marrow, Jane Ormes and Sarah Duncan produced work specifically for this fundraiser for the studio.
## _Exhibitions_
There were no live exhibitions at the studio but members took part in prestigious and delayed national exhibitions.
Print festival 2021 at the Atelier d’Art Populaire 26 -30 May Our partners in Bordeaux hosted a 3 -day print festival in which 5 of our artists’ work was exhibited.
Leonie Bradley – work selected for New Prints 2021/Summer: Leonie Bradley had a video featuring folded linocut, wood engraving and photopolymer gravure artworks selected for New Prints 2021/Summer at the International Print Center New York. The juror was renowned woodcut artist, Christiane Baumgartner who
selected 36 artists from over 900 entries. The video was a collaboration between Leonie and music artist Silverlining to accompany his album Simulacra that explores themes of counterculture and digital identity. The exhibition was held physically and virtually from 10 June – 18 September 2021. Established in 2000, the New Prints Program is a biannual, juried open call for prints and print -based work created in the preceding twelve months. Juried by stakeholders in the field, these exhibitions offer snapshots of what artists are contending with in the moment, leading a sense of immediacy to each presentation.
RA Summer Exhibition 2021: Chitra Merchant, Sarah Duncan, Ros Ford, Anna Harley, Martine Baldwin, Lisa Takahashi, Emma Studd and Emma Stibbon, Martyn Grimmer and SPS Trustee Ian Chamberlain were selected artists. It is a testament to the talent of this studio that we should be so well represented at this prestigious show.
Artists Sarah Duncan and Libby Lloyd nominated for Queen Sonja Print Award 2022: We were beyond chuffed that the very talented Sarah Duncan and Libby Lloyd were both nominated for this prestigious award in January 2022. The Queen Sonja Print Award has become the world’s leading award for graphic art and is presented every other year to a young, ambitious and promising artist who has excelled in the field of printmaking. A wide range of international professionals, curators, artists and art institutions nominate talented artists from all over the world for this prestigious prize. The nominees reflect the breadth of contemporary printmaking around the world, ranging from traditional forms to new approaches involving installation, collage and performance.
## _Editioning_
Editioning is under strategic review. We are currently developing collaborations. We are establishing a new editioning relationship with Spike Island and had just started to work with Eric Baudelaire to produce work for his exhibition in April 2020 together with an edition. This was delayed until 2022 due to Covid -19.

## _Financial Review_
Unrestricted income for the year was £150,352 (2021 : £133,939), up 12.3%. Unrestricted expenditure for the year was £204,667 (2021 : £126,943), up 61.2%. £53,657 (2021 : £382) was transferred in the year from restricted to unrestricted reserves covering overheads related to funded projects, £50,000 of this amount was from one grant from Arts Council England to support the recovery of arts organisations. Net unrestricted income for the year was £ -658 (2021 : £7,378), with £5,152 being transferred in addition to this from designated funds, this resulted in an increase in overall general reserves of £4,494 (2021 : £12,530).
Our earned income gives us the resources to provide a fully equipped and expertly staffed printmaking studio from which we can offer affordable space for artists to make work, run a comprehensive learning programme and education outreach project Show Me How, edition work with Artists. The purpose of the charity’s reserves policy is to ensure the stability of its mission, employment and ongoing operations and to protect its continuity. This allows us to plan constructively and to identify funding needs.
The calculation of average monthly operating costs includes all recurring, predictable expenses such as salaries, rent and running costs. Our target minimum Reserves Fund is equal to 3 months of average operating costs plus provision for estimated costs of closure.
## **plAns FoR FUTURe peRIoDs**
During this year our focus has been on strategic development and how we can emerge from this chaos with a strong business model that will sustain us and allow us to grow and continue to deliver an incredible open access print studio to the public.
Over the next 18 months, Spike Print Studio will seek to put 2 key posts in place: Marketing & Audience Development Manager and a Specialist Technician. SPS will secure the expertise needed to make immediate and long -term pivotal changes to widen participation in print.
It is looking at establishing pivotal offsite partnerships and a new satellite base to work directly with its community in an area that has significant pockets of deprivation.
## _Training in the community_
SPS Mobile Print Project was able to train facilitators as demonstrated by the seed project outcome when Bristol MIND took on one of the trained facilitators to continue to deliver the print opportunities to support the wellbeing of their clients. One of SPS’s key aims is to engage people within priority communities to come into the studio to experience working with professional equipment and get the full educational benefits that SPS is uniquely set up to offer.
## _Sustainability & Environment_
The current reserve policy of £45,000 in free reserves is intended to provide an internal source of funds for situations such as a sudden increase in expenses, one -time unbudgeted expenses, unanticipated loss in funding, or uninsured losses.
We are deeply concerned about the future of the environment for the next generations and are developing a sustainability programme which takes into account our need to change and our resources to implement the changes. We are working with Master paper maker to produce our own paper from our classes and members’ paper waste. In house production. Building a resources page on website. We will set up a sustainability group with our members to steer and monitor progress and intend to carry out a full environmental audit by the end of 2022.
