‘Celebrating Modern Printmaking’
A popular magazine celebrating and exploring the vast and varied world of printmaking and inky-ness; from spotlighting artists, interviews, visiting studios and more.
Exploring the art of paying attention to details, this issue features etchings from Diane Victor, layered prints from Angelica Pilgrim and a guide to mono-printing using fruit jelly. Referencing the fable of the tortoise and the hare within John Coe's editor's letter, as the world feels like it's always racing to the next shiny thing, issue #28 celebrates the beauty of taking the time and care within creative practice.
Also find inside: How motherhood has influenced artistic identities, a tour of dutch graphic workshop, Grafisch Atelier Den Bosch and an insight into Two Rivers Paper; one of the two remaining mills in the UK that make paper by hand.
On the Journal
At work with John Coe: ‘I first came to printmaking via my first magazine, Boneshaker which was about cycling, but we worked with illustrators to create screenprints to sell online and at bike shows. I designed one myself and had a go at printing it too and I loved the hands-on side of turning a design that had been made on a computer into a tactile print.’
