The 20:20 Print Exchange 2023

Valerie Vernon organised the Sheffield Printmakers entries into the 20:20 International print exchange this year. Five of our members took part.

Valerie Vernon, Jean Brookes, Jo Pye, Sarah Calcutt and Annetta Lambert. To take part each printmaker has to produce an edition of 25 prints that are as near to identical as possible. The prints are all sent to Hotbed Press in Salford and all the printmakers that take part receive a box of prints, a mix from all the printmakers taking part. We also received two further boxes, one a mixed bag and one from another printmaking group. Individuals can swap prints from all the boxes if they wish and spares can be sold. Hotbed Press display all the thousands of prints submitted in exhibitions both online and on tour throughout the country.

Here are three photographs of Jean and Val opening the Sheffield Printmakers’ boxes in the cafe at Dronfield Hall Barn.
