Sheffield Print Fair 2024 and other November happening..

Howdy

As usual it has been a while. Rather than try and recap goings on for the last few months, I'll waffle on about a few new things, and about what is happening at printworks HQ for the rest of the year...

SHEFFIELD PRINT FAIR 2024!

Yes, it is the one I co-organise, with my good pal Suzi Thompson, and this year is looking to be a corker! 43 artist/printmakers from all over the UK come to Sheffield for the day to show and sell their work, plus there are print demonstrations, a kids workshop, a free print raffle and free SPF tote bags to the first 50 people through the doors...

It takes place at The Millennium Gallery in Sheffield city centre on Sat 9th November, between 10am and 4.30pm. You can see more info and a full line-up on our blog at:

Come along if you're in town!

I have a few other events coming up in November, and they are:

Endless Love Creative - Sheffield Makers Market
Sat 16th Nov (10am - 4pm), Showroom Workstation, 15 Paternoster Row, Sheffield S1 2BX
ELC seems to be turning into a bit of an institution, with great contemporary fairs popping up all over the place and a community vibe to them too. All sorts of great art and craft, and you can bring your dog along too!

The Hepworth Wakefield Festive Market
Fri 22nd Nov (7pm - 10pm), Sat 23rd Nov (10am - 4pm) and Sun 24th Nov(10am - 4pm), Tileyard North, Wakefield WF1 5FY
It is always a pleasure to return to the Hepworth for events, and this one, at Tileyard North (next door to the gallery) is no exception. The place will be full of lovely art, craft, food and drink and proper festive!

Sunny Bank Mills Christmas Market
Fri 29th Nov (2pm - 8pm) and Sat 30th Nov (10am - 4pm), Sunnybank Mills, 83-85 Town St, Farsley, Pudsey LS28 5UJ
My last event of the year is in North Leeds and another fantastic venue (home to the Sewing Bee too!). Over 60 makers on site, plus print workshops, mulled wine and more..

and that is it for my 2024 events..

NEW WORKS

I've been working mostly on donkey-related prints over the last few months, including several versions of a rather minimal 'Magic Donkey No.12' screenprint. i'm not sure why, but I've found this image somewhat compelling. I think I just like circles! I have also created a print of the town of Wirksworth in Derbyshire. I'm very fond of the place and visit most years to take part in the brilliant arts festival there. I've been meaning to create a print of the place for years now, but never found the right view, until now!
