Nowt Special showcase the Risograph Printer at Vanguard Gallery. This art show at Pudding chare represents more than just an exhibition - it's a statement about community, accessibility, and the democratisation of art in the North East. 

peep podcast interview Van Goth explains that the Risograph printer / Screen Printer machine, originally developed in Japan for high-speed duplicating, has been reclaimed by artists and zine makers worldwide as a tool for authentic, affordable printmaking. This collaboration between Nowt Special and Vanguard Gallery signals a new chapter for both organisations, combining Nowt Special's DIY ethos with Vanguard's established presence in Newcastle's art scene. 

The building's transformation from cat cafe shop to cultural hub embodies the adaptive, resourceful spirit that defines Newcastle's independent art movement, and Van Goth's vision along with the Nowt Special team ensures that the Risograph printer will remain accessible to artists across the region for years to come.
