Pressing Matters #24

Pressing Matters Issue 24

Publisher notes:

We’re excited to be exploring the possibilities of printmaking in this latest issue of Pressing Matters – linking up like-minded makers to discuss their inspirations and processes, allowing them the time and space to geek out over the details. So, whether it’s a creative community ‘doing it for themselves’ or an individual maker ‘finding their thing’, it’s clear that printmaking is a great place to work things out and help others along.

From botanicals to book-making, patterns to puppetry, it’s all in here – conversations between artists from a wide range of countries, workshops and studios give us a deeper insight into the print community as a whole. I hope that something in these printmaking stories helps you and your practice in some way.
