Welcome to the Printmakers Council web site. The Printmakers Council was founded in 1965 to promote the art of printmaking and the work of contemporary printmakers. It continues to pursue this aim by organising a program of exhibitions in London, throughout the U.K. and worldwide. These exhibitions show both traditional skills and innovatory printmaking techniques. The PMC has a slide index and planchest of PMC members work which is regularly consulted by galleries, exhibition organisers and potential buyers.
Membership is open to all printmakers, students, interested groups and individuals.
Recent PMC exhibitions have been mounted at The Natural History Museum, Battersea Pumphouse, Wakefield and in Paris at Musee Adzak. PMC Print Workshops have recently been organised for members at the Artichoke Print Workshop and at the Pitshanger Hanger Manor Gallery. Mary's Church, St. Mary's Road, Southampton, Hampshire. Plans for 2001 include a show of editioned prints at the National Film Theatre and participation in the Contemporary Print Show in London. Printmakers Council will be co-curating a print exhibition on the theme of 'scale' with Pitshanger Manor Gallery, London W5 in 2002.
