"Exchanges are what printmaking is all about. Printmaking allows artists to create multiples, to print as many works as they wish or need. Prints are easy to pack and send. No other artform is as suited for exchanges as printmaking. I find group projects enriching; I discover the work of other artists and I get to see and own prints I would not have otherwise."

How it Works
Each participating printmaker creates and submits a limited edition of ten prints specifically for the International Print Exchange. These prints are created using a recognised fine art printmaking technique with archival materials. Of the ten prints submitted, Green Door Printmaking Studio keeps two; the first for our archive and exhibition; the second for sale to fund future exchange projects (in return, if sold, this printmaker will receive free entry to the following year's exchange).
The remaining prints are randomised and sorted, and each printmaker receives eight random prints in return from all printmakers all over the world.
