In June 2024, Port Independent proudly launched Harbour Printworks CIC, a community-focused design and print shop rooted in empowering the people of Sunderland and the North East. Harbour is built to champion grassroots projects, and support young people, individuals from low socioeconomic backgrounds, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and local creative enterprises.

We aim to foster creativity, enhance skills, and build a network where innovation and growth thrive. To achieve this, we are developing a printing studio and need your support to bring it to life. By attending our workshops, designed for kids and adults alike, you’ll gain hands-on experience in printmaking and creative skills and directly contribute to setting up our facility and securing essential equipment.

Join us in building Harbour Printworks CIC into a vibrant hub for Sunderland’s talented and diverse community. Your support will make this vision a reality—thank you for being part of our journey!
