About the Print Exchange:

This are a simple print exchange. Each
Artist will print an edition of 26
hand-pulled prints in any traditional print
media: Woodblock, Linoleum, Serigraph,
Lithograph or Intaglio.

The finished prints are sent in, collate and
each participant receives back a pile of 25
prints from the all the different Artists.
The 26th set goes into the archives and
will be permanently displayed on a
separate page on the "Four Oceans
Press" website. Find the links to each
exchange (with print images) on the
Archive Page.
