| In the coming months, the Grafische Werkplaats building will undergo major renovations and sustainability upgrades. As a result, the workshop will temporarily move from the Prinsegracht to De Helena – just 270 meters away. What may sound simple is actually quite the operation: the entire building on the Prinsegracht must be completely cleared out. |
Huge relocation, means a huge clean-up
| Grafische Werkplaats at Prinsegracht will close per Monday July 14th 2025. We’ll reopen our doors in the temporary location at Helena van Doeverenplantsoen 3 op Monday September 1st 2025. The coming weeks till the closure, we’re very busy with a huge clean-up action to prepare for packing. All materials that are not the property of Grafische Werkplaats should be picked up by their owners during this period. |
| CALL TO ACTION: Do you think any of your work or materials are still in the workshop? Please make sure to collect them no later than Monday July 7th. After that date, the ownership of all remaining items will transfer to Grafische Werkplaats and could be removed and discarded as part of the relocation process. |
| On Wednesday July 9th we’re organizing a Browse + Take Day for any inventory we’re not bringing to the temporary location. You’re warmly invited to drop by and see if there’s anything you could use. Anything you’re interested in is free to take – but only on that day. Small donations are much appreciated. |
Summerstop + Limitations
| Between the closure of the Prinsegracht location and the reopening at De Helena (from July 14th to August 31st), unfortunately it won’t be possible to work in the workshop. We hope for your understanding during this transition period. |
