An innovative space in the Bahraini art scene

Our Vision

Jehan Saleh Printmaking Studio aspires to expand and enrich the lives of artistic producers and collectors in the community, through providing a space that supports both artists and art enthusiasts.

Our Mission

Our mission is to explore printmaking techniques in a contemporary environment, to establish the first group of women printmakers in Bahrain, as well as to increase the number of women artists who specialize in printmaking, allowing the artist the freedom to learn through experience with Jehan’s assistance at every step of the way. We welcome both beginners and experienced artists who would like to come and use the studio facilities.

About Us

Jehan Saleh Printmaking Studio is the first studio dedicated to printmaking in Bahrain, an innovative space in the Bahraini art scene. She is the founder of the first group of women printmakers in the region “Bahrain Women Printmakers” in 2018, where this field is represented by established male artists and considered to be a “man’s art” because of the technical mastery and physical strength that are required. By launching this platform, she has challenged the art scene by paving the way to a wider platform of artists and art enthusiasts to practice art.

Since the beginning of her art career, Jehan showed interest in the printmaking art techniques and she used it in many of her artworks throughout the years. In 2018, she started offering workshops in the heart of her own studio.

Since the soft opening of the studio in 2019, Jehan Saleh Printmaking Studio has created opportunities for professional and emerging artists and community members to learn printmaking processes, access the equipment they need to make their work, and collect prints from national, regional, and local artists. 

Moving beyond the teaching of techniques, Jehan Saleh began to invite seasoned printmakers, art historians and critics from different countries, keen to develop her students’ theoretical and historical understanding of the medium along with their technical skills.

Jehan’s commitment in the art community over the years has granted her support from key representatives in the art scene.
