Description:
After years of neglect, the historic Temperance Hall in Haverfordwest will be restored and repurposed to create a new Community Printworks which is set to open in summer 2025.<br/><br/>Heidi Baker, a graphic designer, art and design tutor at Pembrokeshire College and founder of Popty Press – a small design and print studio in the town said: “We’ve been testing the community print workshop model at our smaller studio and are thrilled to have the opportunity to move to a larger space to accommodate more printmakers and more activities. Printmaking is a very accessible form of art enabling everyone of all ages and abilities to benefit from getting involved in creative activities. <br/> <br/>“Haverfordwest has so much potential, and I feel excited to be part of a new energy reviving the town. Each little pinprick of new activity may be small, but when they all join up we’ll make our town a place we can be proud of.”<br/><br/>Kelcey Wilson Lee, Director of Programmes at the Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF) said: “AHF has been working with communities for nearly 50 years to find enterprising ways to revitalise old buildings by providing advice, grants and loans to put sustainable heritage at the heart of vibrant local economies.<br/><br/>“We are delighted to have supported the purchase of The Temperance Hall to bring it back into community use as well as the wider work of Haverfordwest Heritage. This is just the start of their work as one of a number of Heritage Development Trusts across the UK, and we look forward to seeing how their work develops to bring about positive change in the town.”<br/><br/>To find out more about the open day on 15 June and the plans for The Temperance Hall visit www.haverfordwestheritage.org.uk<br/>
