Thanks!

Well, SPF2019 has happened, and it was a great success! Visitor numbers were fantastic, we had an amazing selection of print work, fascinating demonstrations, plus very nice food and drink from the St Mary's crew!

Well done to Kathryn Desforges for winning the 'Printmakers Printmaker' prize, as voted for by all the printmakers taking part in the event. The prize is a £50 voucher to use with Hawthorn Print.

Thanks for coming along if you made it, and for supporting print!

Thanks also to Hawthorn Print, Folksy and Awesome Merch for supporting us too (the free totes went down very well), and St Mary's for being brilliant hosts.

We haven't yet done the draw for the print raffle yet, but if you are a winner we will contact you in the next couple of weeks. The best of luck!

If you'd like to see some photos from the event, you can go to our Facebook gallery:

2019 Sheffield Print Fair Gallery

We will be publishing the date for SPF2020 in April 2020, so keep an eye out. We will be putting out our call for applications at the end of June.

Cheers!

Thank you very much!

Yes, we'd like to say a great big thanks you to all the people who made 'Sheffield Print Fair 2017' our best and busiest event so far!

We couldn't do it without the wonderful artists who took part (and demonstrate), the sponsors (Folksy, Hawthorn Press and Sheffield City Of Makers), the venue and super-friendly team at St Mary's, and OF COURSE the people who came along to peruse, chat to the printmakers and buy their work.

We had a record number of people through the doors, and raised more money than ever for St Mary's charity for homeless and vulnerable people in Sheffield. The print raffle went very well, with over 700 tickets bought, and most of the winners have now collected their prizes from St Mary's. Also, Zena Parker won the printmakers' printmaker prize, voted by all the printmakers present, and won a generous voucher from Hawthorns.

Thanks to photographer Dan Cook who documented the day so well. You can see all of his shots of the day at our facebook photo album and his website at https://danscape.co/

One final thing. We'd like to say a fond farewell to Jane Elliot, co-founder of SPF who is stepping down this year to concentrate on other things (including making some prints of her own!). We'll miss you, Jane!

Put Saturday 10th November 2018 in your diary for Sheffield Print Fair 2018!
