PRINT IN ACTION FESTIVAL

Join RAMP for Print in Action Festival, a weekend celebrating printmaking. Learn from some of the nation’s best printmakers through workshops, demonstrations, talks, exhibitions, print fair and opportunities to connect with printmakers at Print in Action Festival – 26th – 27th April.

The festival highlights printmaking in all its forms, a weekend full of creativity, a platform for learning about printmaking through ink, interaction and inspiration.

Print in Action is a Festival for all, a chance to meet new makers, create with friends, learn and develop your printmaking skills, or simply a moment to have fun, be mindful, collaborate and be curious.

Throughout the weekend we’ll be talking about printmaking as a skill to include in your creative toolkit, encouraging discussions around creative intersections between different practices, including the importance of traditional printmaking processes and their interaction in an evolving digital world.

Print in Action is a platform for all, we welcome all artists, makers, creators but also welcome those who want to have fun, try something new, be mindful and meet with friends.
