We’re looking for a Board Secretary!
Hot Bed Press is looking for an organised, enthusiastic person to join us as Secretary to the Board in a voluntary role.
This is a great opportunity to get involved with a small, creative arts organisation in Salford, contribute to its development and build experience in the arts and charity sectors.
The role involves supporting Board meetings, preparing agendas, taking minutes, keeping records organised and helping with general Board administration. We’re keen to hear from people with an interest in the arts and working alongside artists.
The commitment is relatively manageable, broadly following our four Board meetings a year, with preparation and follow up in between. A handover and support will be provided by the outgoing Secretary.
Interested or know someone who might be?
For more information or to express your interest, email Penny at [email protected].

Lovely evening out visiting the opening of Jason Hicklin's solo show at Zillah Bell Contemporary Art in Thirsk on Friday evening. So many amazing etchings across 5 gallery rooms capturing atmospheric views of Skye.
This is the first time I've seen so many of Jason's work presented in a gallery all at once, and it was so good to see.
Thirsk is lovely to visit, so worth the trip. The show is on until 21st November, and you can see some great prints by Barbara Rae, Norman Ackroyd, Katherine Holmes and others in the upstairs gallery spaces.
If you can make the trip to Thirsk it's well worth it.
Thanks for the nice welcome and lovely chat with gallery owner John Bell and his staff. Such a great gallery supporting the best in printmaking. Nice to see my long time friend Jason in his show too, (that's me and Jason at the end. Jason's the handsome one on the left).
Looking forward to teaching alongside Jason @hotbedpress when he teaches Etching and Aquatint on 14th & 15th November, (whilst I teach Abstract Expressionist Screenprint). It's a privilege to have Jason teach for us.
Those on our 3rd year Complete Printmaker courses will know how inspiring and insightful Jason's teaching can be as a guest tutor on 3rd year for the last 10 years. His full day teaching, showing his work and demonstrating etching and aquatint is a highlight of the 3rd year course.

▶️ Sharing some gorgeous moments from our printmaking fundraiser last Friday.
What a lovely evening opening up the Venture Arts studio with our friends at @hotbedpress. Beautiful artwork, brilliant conversations, artists sharing their printmaking processes AND plenty of prints finding new homes.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along, supported the artists and made the evening such a joy. Proceeds from the event will help us buy new printmaking equipment for the studio, so every print purchased really does make a difference.
Here's to more evenings like this. 💚
