We are starting with an upgrade to our website that will be coming soon.We do regret that we have to make this difficult decision however, our grant funding is not increasing and we are experiencing increased costs that we can no longer afford to absorb.We are aware that this could prove cost prohibitive for some people, if cost is a barrier to you taking part, if you are UK based , please do email us directly:pentoprint@lbbd.gov.ukto discuss this further.*****Pen to Print is supported using public funding byArts Council Englandfunded by UK Government, as a Library National Portfolio Organisation .Web Address:pentoprint.orgEmail:pentoprint@lbbd.gov.ukSign up for Pen to Print e-newsletters visit:public.govdelivery.comand register.*****To help people access our online content we have created some How to Guides:How to Access and Event/Class After Booking on EventbriteHow to Set-up a Google AccountHow to Join a Google ClassroomHow to Submit and Assignment and Make CommentsHow to View Tutor Feedback and Make Edits to Your Assignments
