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 2021 - Call for Applications!



We are extremely happy to tell you that it is taking place at The Millennium Gallery, Sheffield Museums on Saturday 13th November 2021!

The location has changed, but the event is still the same. All that is different really is that everyone will be in one big exhibition space, and the demos/workshops will take place downstairs in the large workshop room (you can state on the form if you'd like to do a demo). As before we are also having a kids print workshop, a print raffle and also some printmaker awards.

The event will run from 10am until 4pm, and will feature printmaker stalls as well as print demonstrations and kids print workshops throughout the day. This year, we will also be introducing a print raffle too!

This year we are being generously supported by the amazing print superstars Awesome Merchandise, online craft-selling gurus Folksy, and print-meisters Hawthorn Printmaker Supplies, who will be at the fair with their presses and other printmaking goodies.

We are offering 43 stalls at the event for artists/printmakers. We are now looking for applicants for the event, printmakers from Sheffield and beyond; woodcut, mezzotint, linocut, screen-print, wood-engravings, digital prints, monoprints and more! We are also looking for people who are interested in doing a demonstration of their print technique (to whom we will offer a free table).

Please note - We can't accept prints that are simply reproductions/scans of artworks created in other media.

The application deadline is 5th September 2021, and we will inform all applicants of the result by 19th September 2021.

Stalls are £65 each (a 6ftx2ft table), or £32.50 for a half-table. There is space behind each table for a display board if you wanted to bring one, and some room by the side for small print browsers.
