Sheffield Print Fair 2019 - Introducing the artists...

Sheffield Print Fair returns for our celebration of all things print in our 7th year!

We have 42 artists, galleries and print people taking part with over half of them new to the event. There will be prints for sale, print demonstrations, kids workshops and now a print raffle and a printmaker's printmaker award! Screen-print, intaglio, linocut, wood engraving, collagraph, digital, woodcut and more.

Our official sponsors this year are Hawthorn Printmaker SuppliesFolksy and also Awesome Merchandise.

The event takes place between 10am and 4pm, on Sat 9th November 2019, and entry is £1 (free for under 16s). All profits go towards St Mary's TimeBuilders project which supports people to develop themselves and contribute to the local community.
