About this page

Third Works is Mira and Oyelaran, printing two-colour editions on a single riso press in a shared ground-floor studio.

This page is where we point everything: it is refreshed on the first Monday of each month, and again whenever a drop or workshop date changes.

Messages left through the commissions row are answered within three working days. Workshop seats are released a fortnight ahead.
