Live printing demonstrations with Stirchley Printworks

Join us for an informal, friendly drop-in session to watch live Joe Lycett-inspired printmaking in action. This relaxed, hands-on session is part of the first major solo exhibition of paintings by Joe Lycett, opening at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in July 2026.

EVERY THING MUST GO explores the theme of “things that are no longer with us,” featuring a bold salon-style display of deceased celebrities, discontinued chocolate bars, extinct animals, and destroyed buildings.

Lycett’s aim is to overwhelm and delight visitors with what he describes as a “neon graveyard.” During your visit, you’ll work alongside expert printers from Stirchley Printworks , who will guide you through the process of creating your own print using traditional techniques.

See how ink, paper, pressure, and specialist equipment come together as you take part in a live, hands-on making experience. A relaxed and interactive experience, perfect for curious minds of all ages.
