Hot Bed Press http://www.hotbedpress.org/show_title.phtml?category=homepage&ref=0 have organised a print exchange between 10 workshops with the only criteria that the prints be presented on 20 x 20 cm square paper. Each individual artist had to complete an edition of 24 prints and their work was exchanged as a whole with another workshop, which in our case was Cork Printmakers http://www.corkprintmakers.ie/ . Each studio receives a random selection of prints from all the studios.

All 120 works can be viewed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/hot_bed_press/

The other workshops involved are:

West Yorkshire Print Workshop Leinster Printmaking Studio

Prospect Studios Seacourt Print Workshop

Cork Printmakers

Black Church Print Studio

Our exchanged prints can also be seen at our open studio day this Saturday - see previous post.
