NORWICH PRINT FAIR
Martin Mitchell organised the first exhibition of the Norwich Print Fair n 1995. This initial show included work from eight printmakers but now the printmakers now number over sixty, with approximately thirty exhibiting in the annual September fair at St Margaret’s Church Gallery, Norwich, at which the group aims to include a percentage of new artists each year. The Norwich Print Fair was founded to display the talent and craft that goes into contemporary printmaking. It champions traditional methods such as mezzotint, etching, linocutting and wood engraving, and displays new techniques such as using materials such as photopolymer resins. From its inception, it has sought to inform and inspire audiences regarding the processes behind the creation of original prints. The Norwich Print Fair has grown to become one of the best loved and largest independent selling shows of its kind in East Anglia.
