Endless Forms, Most Beautiful

A new body of work inspired by Bestiaries and herbaria, created by studio members of Northern Print.

Endless Forms, Most Beautiful brings together traditional printmaking and the natural world, a connection with a long history in the north-east.

As well as a focus on ‘at risk’ species, Endless Forms, Most Beautiful will highlight and include endangered craft processes, including letterpress, lithography and papermaking.

The project will unfold over the coming months.
