Thanks so much!

We just wanted to say thanks so much to everyone who came along to Sheffield Print Fair 2021, to Sheffield Museums for hosting the event at the brilliant Millennium Gallery, to our supporters Folksy, Awesome Merchandise and Hawthorn Printmakers, and to all the fantastic artist/printmakers for taking part, showing their working and some for running the workshops and doing the print demonstrations.

It was the busiest print fair yet, with over 1500 visitors in the 6 hours we were open! The Printmaker's Printmaker award this year went to Ellie Cliftlands. The award was voted for by all attending exhibitors.

There is a full gallery of photos over on our facebook page, if you'd like to have a look.

Sheffield Print Fair 2020 - cancelled

We're sad to be informing you that Sheffield Print Fair 2020 won't be happening. It shouldn't be a great surprise to you, but under the circumstances we felt it sensible to call it off this year, and focus on 2021. Stay safe, and see you next year.

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!
