The annual Sheffield Print Fair celebrates the great variety of ways that images and words make their way onto paper.
Returning for its 11th year in 2024, Sheffield Print Fair will bring to Millennium Gallery over 40 artists skilled in a range of printing techniques.
Intaglio, woodcut, linocut, collagraph, etching, letterpress, screen print, digital print – the list of different printing processes just goes on and on. Many of these techniques date back centuries, as do the machines they make use of, in some cases. Nonetheless they continue to be valued by scores of printmakers and artists, whether they choose to master the more traditional methods or create something from a combination of old and new. Each printing process delivers its own unique results in style and texture, and at the same time affords the artist a high level of control over the production and reproduction of their own work.
Alongside the print market stalls, a series of live and interactive demonstrations throughout the day will explain some of printmaking's curious machines and tools. The fair will also feature a 'have a go' print workshop for kids.
Bonus: the first 50 people through the door will receive a free screen printed tote bag designed by Rhi Moxon.
