‘Celebrating Modern Printmaking’
A popular magazine exploring the vast and varied world of printmaking and inky-ness; spotlighting artists, presenting interviews, visiting studios and more. Always packed with sample works, it’s an inspiration to beginners and old hands alike.
Issue 34 explores how small changes in printers’ processes or approaches can transform the visual language of their work. It’s packed with printers ‘who are seeking out new, creative terrains with their artworks and projects,’ from accidental imperfections in printed lettering that open the door to unexpected but welcomed discoveries to site-specific cyanotype prints that raise awareness about climate change.
Featured artists include:
