Golden Triangle Makers Market

Our Monday morning shout out goes to Paul McNeill the organiser of the Golden Triangle Makers Market which is happening this Saturday (27th April) from 11-3pm at St Thomas' Hall on Earlham Road. Paul likes to keep it real by screen printing all the posters for the event. He also screen prints his own range of T-Shirts and bags which will be on sale there as well as loads of other lovely things!!

Josey Grant

Print Room member Josey Grant has got a solo show of her work opening at the Arts Centre this Thursday - definitely worth a gander I'd say! 

Its on from the 19th to the 7th May with the Private View on Thursday 18th from 5pm. If you wanted to be super clever you could come and see it this Saturday and also take in the sights of the Clutter City Spring Market.

Transept : 'Buff as Fuck'

Norwich based synth-folk drone band Transept lovingly (and somewhat messily!!) printed the covers for their new album here at Stew Print Rooms. Each cover was mono printed by the band before the text was screen printed over the top by Print Room technician Jo Stafford so each LP / CD is completely individual and unique - to grab yourself one head here.

New Year's Resolution

So our New Year's Resolution here at Stew Print Rooms was amongst other things to use the blog to post about the great things that our Print Room Members are getting up to. So seeing as it is the end of March we thought we best get started on it!!
First up we have got posters for a very exciting one off event at Stew hosted by the Butcher of Common Sense. The posters where lovingly printed by Stewies Karen Reilly and Alex Lingford and the event is this Thursday (March 28th) at 730pm more info here

Print Odyssey is back!!

Back and even bigger than before, work on 2012 Print odyssey has begun!
For all the up to date information and submission forms check out the new blog HERE!
Submission closing date 30th March, Plenty of time to come up with some new master pieces in the print rooms!

Pecha Kucha Norwich

If you are not doing anything this Sunday evening (15th Jan) then why not get down to Cinema City for the Pecha Kucha night being held there.
Pecha Kucha is a creative speaking event that originates from Japan. (Pecha Kucha is Japanese for “chit chat.”) Its unique speaking format was conceived by a group of architects in Tokyo as a way to get architects to talk faster during presentations. Ten individuals, from a wide-range of creative disciplines, are featured at each event. In the past this has included designers, painters, sculptors, musicians, choreographers, writers, photographers and even puppeteers. Each speaker has twenty slides set on a timer for twenty seconds per slide, so each talk is only six minutes and forty seconds long.
