NZ Printmakers Interviews & Articles

I love to meet NZ Printmakers from all over the country!

Thought I can't be everywhere to meet ALL of you, 

I am keen to introduce you to others making prints around NZ.

So if you're an artist who would like to promote your work,

you may be keen to write brief blurbs about printmaking topics and techniques,

or you have ideas about what topics you'd like to 'discuss' here on the blog with others,

if you have upcoming exhibitions, events or workshops,

then please feel free to comment below or click here to send me an email.

Thanks to you all for continuing to read my blog!

I really appreciate your support and feedback 

so I can continue promoting printmaking in New Zealand

and to spread the word about NZ Printmakers around the world.
