Print fairs always interest me, the variety of work on display is incredible. Often going to print fairs local to the north, or fairs that are on in more major cities feature the same artists and designers. This is a great way to network, if someone can recognise you at different events you begin to work up a relationship with them. In the bottom picture on this post you can see Laura Knight's stall. I met Laura last year at the York print fair and have now seen her at a few different events that I feel comfortable going over to have a chat about work and university. Laura has been quite helpful and has accepted work off a classmate (Hannah Johns). She is a lovely woman and now recognises me whenever we see each other, she's always welcoming and up for a chat about the industry. Last year she so happened to be collaborating with an old friend of mine from college. It's great to know that she works in this way and like I stated earlier it is a great way of networking at a print fair. I believe a lot of my work could be displayed in a fair such as this therefore I have planned to do this after graduation.
