The big sort!
The ‘BIG SORT’ takes place at Hot Bed Press.
Once all prints have been received, it’s a big collective team effort from staff & volunteers at Hot Bed Press to, sort, organise, count and package the 1000’s of prints to send back to workshops.
We do our best to improve each year and to ensure that each participant receives a random selection box of 20 prints.
