TWO Southampton artists have fulfilled their dream and set up a print workshop.

Sarah Mander and Katherine Anteney-Tipper have transformed their premises in the city's Old Corn Exchange into Red Hot Press.

Their fully equipped workshop, off Terminus Street, will be the venue for a range of weekday and weekend courses in different printing techniques. The workshop is also available for hire to more experienced artists.

The pair have been helped on their way by a £3,000 grant from Unltd, the funding body for social enterprise to help with start-up costs, equipment and marketing.

Sarah said: "Being awarded this money means we can move forward with the project and provide even better facilities than we have already."
