‘Celebrating Modern Printmaking’ A popular magazine celebrating and exploring the vast and varied world of printmaking and inky-ness; spotlighting artists, presenting interviews, visiting studios and more. Issue 31 arrives just as the school holidays commence, heralding in a summer packed with crafty activities. On creative director John Coe’s mind this issue is a quote by the American Modernist painter Georgia O’Keefe: “I found I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way. Things I had no words for.” This edition, then, is an invitation to better understand and express our feelings through creative expression, with plenty of inky inspiration inside. Featuring painter and printmaker Valeska Hykel on the joys of monoprinting, Anna Bryant and Denise Markbreit from Print House on restoration and recovery in the wake of Hurricane Helene, and more. On the JournalAt work with John Coe: ‘I first came to printmaking via my first magazine, Boneshaker which was about cycling, but we worked with illustrators to create screenprints to sell online and at bike shows. I designed one myself and had a go at printing it too and I loved the hands-on side of turning a design that had been made on a computer into a tactile print.’read more pressingmattersmag.com
