Sheffield Print Fair 2025 - call for applications!

 

We are very happy to announce the twelfth Sheffield Print Fair!

SPF2025 is happening at The Millennium Gallery, Sheffield Museums on Saturday 8th November 2025. 

We are offering 43 stalls at this year’s event for artists/printmakers and are now looking for applications 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 cannot accept prints that are simply reproductions/scans of artworks created in other media.

The event will run from 10am until 4.30pm, and will feature printmaker stalls as well as print demonstrations throughout the day.

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' Printmaker Award’ for exhibitors.

This year we are being generously supported by print house ASAP, screen-print wizards Hunk Print, online craft-selling gurus Folksy, Sheffield Museums 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 artist and printmaker Shirley Stevenson.

The application deadline is 1st September 2025, and we will inform all applicants of the result by 16th September 2025.

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.

SHEFFIELD PRINT FAIR

Thanks for coming!!

 Huge belated thanks for coming along to Sheffield Print Fair 2025, if you managed it...!

It was AGAIN the busiest fair we've ever had, and the whole day as very much a whirlwind... The print demos and workshop proved very popular, it was great to see a whole load of new printmakers (as well as the old ones!), and put faces to print images...

Congratulations to Rhi Moxon for winning the 2024 Printmakers Printmaker award. Thoroughly well deserved!

Thanks to Sheffield Museums for working with us, Hunk Print for donating and printing the super-cool tote bags (which went very quickly indeed), Hawthorn Printmakers for bringing their wonderful print equipment and donating the print prizes, ASAP Print for printing and donating the posters/flyers/banners, Andy Brown for taking the great photos (shown here and on our facebook page) and to all the printmakers who took part and made it worthwhile (as well as donating amazing raffle prizes!)

The 2025 date will be Saturday 8th November, again at The Millennium Gallery, so put that in your diary!
