Visitors could print and take away their very own Thomas Bewick Hare print using our Adana press.
From the archive
Continuing with the wood engraving theme we showed a series of prints by Hilary Paynter MBE from the ‘From the Rivers to the Sea’ commission for Nexus Metro, which was celebrating its 20th Anniversary year, along with a video of Hilary discussing her practice for Glossary: how and why artists make prints, a commission by Northern Print.
