The Hepworth Print Fair showcased various printing techniques from rubber stamping to lino cut. Each stall had attractive prints for sale which made the event more of a celebration and an encouragement to keep print alive.
Leeds Print Festival on the other hand was more like the experience had at OFFSET. Rather than a showcase of stalls, the day was made up of just 4 talks with illustrators and designers. DR.ME's talk was interestingly about curation. Throughout their time working together they've realised that curation is large part of a designers role. For example when designing a publication, the designer curates the content shown inside or when setting up an exhibition, the designer curates the work on show. This relates to the 365 days of collage they were doing which led to the idea and creation of their book, Cut That Out.
The exhibition at Colours may vary was also curated by DR.ME.
