Living Planet is hosting a monthly Printers Market – a venue for print artists to display and sell their works. This event will be held at our print studio at 20 Barnes Road. In addition to vendors at tables we will also host a guest screenprinter at each market.
Our goal is to provide a meeting place and vending opportunity for emerging printers and creators in print related media. Additionally we want to offer support and training to screenprinters through our guest screenprinter program.
The third market will be held on Saturday June 12th from 12 noon until 4 pm.
