Seacourt Proposes a Symposium to Define Fine-Art Printmaking

Robert Peters, Director of Seacourt Print Workshop
Asks Print Workshop Central to “Circulate This”

Peters says:

This issue seems to have sparked of some interesting discussion. Following on from our safer printmaking symposium held in September I have been planning to seek funding to host a symposium exploring more broadly how fine art printmaking is defined, for example do buyers know when they are buying an original work of art conceived to be executed through a printmaking process?

A Print Workshop Central Interviews Sampler

It’s about Interesting People Doing
Interesting Things in Interesting Places

The Print Workshop Central work plan calls for an interview with a representative–usually but not necessarily the studio director–with every studio we put on the PWC site. We knew that this would mean extra work both for us and for the participants, but we thought the interviews might provide a means of seeing printers and print workshops from an inside angle. In the beginning we had no idea how rich and varied these interviews would turn out to be, but we have been delighted to discover a wealth of curious anecdotes, true confessions and delightful surprises from professional printmakers all the way from the tundra of Newfoundland on the North Atlantic Coast of Canada to the semi-tropical balm of New Zealand’s North Island.
