Today I went to look around Leeds Print Fair at the Corn Exchange. I really enjoyed looking at the printmakers' work and it has inspired me to have a go at printing because this is something I haven't looked into in that much depth before. Most of the fine art prints were beautifully crafted and I think the handmade aesthetic of the traditional printing techniques made the work a lot more individual and personal than digitally printed work as they show a clear investment of labour and craft.
Some printmakers had printed their designs onto merchandise such as cushions, bags, clothing, and other materials - I thought it was really nice to see people's art work on products we see and use every day. This has made me think about how I can get my work out there maybe in a more interesting and useful way.
