Thanks!

 Hi there

Well, somehow it is a month since Sheffield Print Fair 2022!

It was a huge success, with over 1500 visitors during the day, which is the biggest crowd we've ever had. It was so great to see all of the printmakers and their work in person, have nerdy print chats with many of them, see the print demos and workshops and generally watch how engaged the visitors were with the whole event.

Printmakers' Printmaker 2022

This was awarded to Nell Smith, who creates colourful abstract compositions in her Manchester studio. Well done, Nell!

The Print Raffle was very popular this year, and all those who won have now been emailed and can collect their prizes from The Millennium Gallery.

We'd  like to thank:

Jess at Sheffield Museums for being super-helpful and organised in the run-up to the event, and also for agreeing to host SPF again.

Hawthorn Printmakers for coming along with their quality print equipment, providing a great prize for Printmakers' Printmaker, and being ace friendly people.

Folksy for helping us spread the word far and wide about SPF.

and of the artist/printmakers who, as well as bringing along their wonderful art, did a grand job of helping us promote the event too.

Thanks so much for coming along, if you were able to, and we'll see you in 2023 for our 10th year!

We are extremely happy to tell you that Sheffield Print Fair is happening again at The Millennium Gallery, Sheffield Museums on Saturday 12th November 2022 The event worked really well last year at the gallery, so we are thrilled to be back there again this year.

The print fair 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 will also be having a print raffle for our visitors and our annual ‘Printmakers Choice Award’ for exhibitors.

The event will run from 10am until 4pm, and will feature printmaker stalls as well as print demonstrations throughout the day.

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.

This year's poster design has been created for us by the supremely talented Laura Slater.
