You know what's incredible? Print culture is absolutely booming here in Wales, and we're so proud to see Cardiff – especially our beloved Canton – becoming this amazing hub of print studios and creative spaces. We're setting up shop at Chapter Arts Centre, and we can't wait to bring our amazing community together to celebrate everything printmaking!

“…we never dreamed it would grow like it has, it is a jamboree, a printmaking extravaganza!” - Aidan Saunders (Print Wagon & Prints of Hay).

We're passionate about building on this incredible momentum we've got going. We're creating this fantastic space where artists, organizations, and educators can all come together, share their genius, and inspire each other. It's going to be such an amazing opportunity for everyone to collaborate, learn, and really dive into the world of printmaking in Wales.

Get ready for the most creative weekend of your life! We're so excited about our 'makers trail' – you'll get to meet incredible print artists, feast your eyes on stunning prints, and (our favourite part) get your hands dirty with some actual printing! Whether you're a seasoned pro or have never touched a printing press in your life, we promise you'll have an absolute blast trying everything from risograph to screen printing.

We're still buzzing from last year's festival – the energy was electric, and the support we received just blew us away! This year, we're taking it to a whole new level with more amazing creatives, more fantastic workshops, and so many ways to get involved, we can barely contain our excitement!

We've packed the schedule with activities for the whole family, stunning artist showcases, and hands-on experiences that'll make your creative heart sing. This isn't just a festival – it's a celebration of print, creativity, and our wonderful community. And in true PRINTED spirit all of the have-a-go-activities are low cost or free.

To wet your appetite even more, here’s a little preview of who you can expect to meet, print with and maybe get to make some new connections with:

Come join us for what's going to be the most unforgettable weekend of printmaking magic you've ever experienced! Trust us, you won't want to miss this!
