Cut Editions is a silk-screen printmaking workshop specialising in the production of limited edition original prints.
Our aim is to collaborate with fine art practitioners and designers who wish to work in print but may not have the facilities or technical knowledge to do so. We can make editions for artists, collaborate with them in the making of their editions, or they may prefer to book time in the studio and make work with a minimal amount of assistance from us. We give as much or as little help and advice as required.
Established in 2017 by Ni and Ben Gooding, the studio is situated on the ground floor of the prestigious Cut Arts centre, in Halesworth, Suffolk.

The Seagull Theatre Community Interest Company is a small theatre in Pakefield, Lowestoft, which plays host to a regular stream of local talent, regional and national touring theatre companies. We are home to many resident companies including our own touring Theatre company; The Seagull Rep.
The building, which used to be a school, was converted into an arts centre in the 1960’s and was run by the Suffolk County Council until 2006, when the funding was withdrawn. A local resident stepped in to buy the building from the council and turn it into a Community Interest Company as “The Seagull”. With the help of volunteers the theatre reopened at the end of February 2009 and has re-established itself as an important performing arts venue, offering a diverse range of shows, classes and workshops. In addition to our Auditorium, we have three studios upstairs that provide space for local groups to rehearse or functions to be held.
The Seagull is run by volunteers, with two permanent staff members. Please contact us anytime and our dedicated team of volunteers will endeavour to assist you with any queries and ideas that you may have. The Seagull is a community venue working with and for you to ensure this vital resource continues to thrive and contribute quality programming, facilities and opportunities to the area.
