Farida Makki, Martin Rayment and Dizzy Ink are planning to redevelop and open up the Writers Studio building for the city of Nottingham. By keeping existing members, including the Writers Studio and Nottingham Photography Hub, we aim to build on an already established building and open it up to the cities creatives.
This event is to invite you to come and see the space and share our ambition for its future. We will begin with a tour around the building, explaining our plans a...nd mapping out what we intend to build (and knock down!). We will then give a short presentation into the finer details of how the building will operate. Lastly, we would like to open out the conversation to you guys for any ideas, questions, observations or general advice you may have.

.............................
Our Vision
_________is a studio space for artists and creative practitioners who want to develop a sustainable practice. Based in Nottingham _________ aims to provide the space, access to facilities and a workshop programme which allows its members to develop.
Our Commitment
We intend to give the space a sense of community from the outset. We will do this by organising regular events for studio members to get together, discuss their projects, practices or just to have a cup of tea and a natter.
.............................
Please book tickets so we can see how many cups of tea we have to make :)

sooooo good!!!! can't wait to come again, thanks for the cool experience :p

Very professional and knowledgable set of lads to deal with when I worked with them on printing a large scale publication project. Very engaging workshops, a friendly and welcoming atmosphere in the dizzy studio. Go print with these guys they know their stuff!

The print quality and colours they have are amazing. Two amazing guys to work with and I would recommend for anyone to get stylish prints done.

The guys were great when I needed some printing done on short notice. Friendly atmosphere and great studio space. Would definitely recommend!

Talented guys doing some amazing things! Blow me away every time I see their work!

I had the best fun at your workshop. Its given me lots of ideas for future work and I can't wait to come see you guys again :)

I attended the risograph printing course today - Craig was commited & generous with his time to ensure we all got the most from this session - highly recommended- thanks Craig & Dizzyink - see you soon �

Great process of creating our wedding invitations from start to finish - from initial chat of ideas, to recommending the perfect illustrator, to helping us choose the right paper and card and of course printing them and making them look amazing. Their knowledge and attention to detail is astounding which helped us to create the perfect invites. So glad we chose them to work with as it was the right balance of fun and professionalism!

Great customer service! Really friendly and very helpful. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Fantastic workshop, Ben and Craig couldn't have been any more helpful! Cheers boys.

Fantastic time with Ben at Dizzy Ink. Anyone out there wanting to play with Risograph printing this is the place visit.

Dizzy ink really work with you to develop your idea into an exciting and vivid piece of print, if you get chance do a workshop! Risograph is a really interesting medium to explore and this is a great way of meeting like minded people, highly recommend!

Dizzy Ink is such an exciting place doing some amazing things with riso and more! The two chaps have a lot of passion and even more creativity!

Dizzy Ink are an incredible, innovative team who genuinely support grass roots artists with no nonsense approach to printing. Nottingham are lucky to have them! Their machines are state-of-the-art, colours exceptional, knowledge broad. They also make abundant tea and get excited about the artists they work with. Perfection in Cobden Chambers!

Craig gave up his time to share his extensive knowledge of zine making and culture with our journalism students. Lovely place, friendly and helpful staff

Chill vibes, fantastic printing & the best pair of dudes. Happy to help you through the entire process of artwork, setup right through to printing. If you already know and want to learn more or are new to Riso these guys know their stuff inside out and run great accessible workshops for anyone & everyone
