Hello Everyone
Its great to be here working with you all to share opportunities, events, talks, reviews, festivals, exhibitions, concerts, creative writing links, workshops, book launches the list is endless... I'm due to start this role next week but was itching to get going. So here I am saying hello and welcome - please feel free to post and share anything you find that might be of interest to everyone else in the group!
I'm starting with this great event on over the weekend https://printfest.uk
Printfest has been an annual event since 2001 and has become a fundamental date on the calendar for anyone interested in fine art print making. Printmakers from around the UK will be showing work, plus a range of workshops and talks are ongoing over the weekend. It's not to be missed.
Enjoy!
Did any of you make it to the event last weekend? I visit every year and its one of my favourites on the calendar. I enjoy incorporating fine art print techniques in my own work so joined in on a workshop with Heather Young to learn the Mezzotint process.
There was a lot to cover in a 3 hour session but it is definitely something I'll return to in the future and explore some more.
There were so many inspiring printmakers to see this year its hard to chose a favourite but here's a few of my top picks...including Printmaker of the Year check out Anita Kleins work here...http://www.anitaklein.com
