Exhibition TOUR

Each year the whole Print Exchange goes on to tour nationally/internationally, hosted by print workshops or galleries connected to print workshops.

We remove the print numbered 1/25 from each edition during the initial sort, and it is these prints which form the exhibition, showcasing the complete collection each year.

Exhibiting the tour works a little like Pass the Parcel, in that each exhibiting studio will pack everything up and send the whole package on to the next venue.

If all goes well Hot Bed Press will only be in possession of the print collection at the beginning and at the end of the Exchange year.

The prints are also scanned and can be seen in the online gallery section of this website.

It's great to see the huge array of prints, styles, methods and subject.

It gives a great insight into the diverse range of printmaking going on and regional and national styles and even trends.
