Open access printmakers, and run short and one-day screenprinting workshops in their fully equipped studios. Since 2008, the studio has been running a residency programme.

The Workshop was set up in Lybster, Caithness, Scotland in 1995, to encourage study, research, collaboration and co-operation between glass and other artists, designers, crafts people and architects in the production and use of creative glass. Residencies happen twice a year,  each bringing four glass and visual artists, at different stages of their career, to live and work together here for eight weeks, or here and another venue for mixed-media partnership residencies. Through collaboration, cross fertilisation of ideas and practice, the residency creates new opportunities for learning, exploration and creative development.

The residency provides an opportunity for an artist or craftsperson, who is at a key stage in their development, to spend an undisturbed period of time in a rural setting; the aim is to fully support research, experimentation and artistic and professional development of the individual. Accommodation, catering facilities and a private studio provided.
