Leeds Print Festival (Day 2)

I attended the Leeds Print Festival with Grace, Ant and Ashley Woodrow-Smith for the second day of the Print Festival was great, the free stuff was also an added bonus. Especially the G.F smith sample book.

The speakers were all very good, I really enjoyed Patrick Burgoyne's talk which highlighted traditional printing all around the work. His talk was probably the most insightful, and inspiring. The rest although were interesting I didn't really connect with as much. Mr.Bingo was funny, however I he swore a bit to much to the point it seemed forceful. He could have been as funny without the need to rely on swearing. Plus he didn't really talk about print much, mostly himself and how he got to where he is, more advertising then anything else.

Leeds Print Festival (Day 1)

I went along to the first day of the Print festival today, I wasn't really too sure what to expect, and had a bit of difficulty finding it at first. But I was quite surprised to see the range of work. I managed to get a few pictures of the work, ones I liked. I didn't buy anything because really, there's no point in buying a print when you can't hang it up.
