Welcome to Printroom Editions

>01.03.2013  With the launch of PRINTSHOP in late 2011, PRINTROOM EDITIONS installed framing facilities so that the entire process from image capture through to printing and preservation framing could be performed in house with a consistent level of expertise. Since then, there has been an increasing demand from artists to provide additional framing services. Much of 2012 therefore was spent further equipping the framing work shop to facilitate these new services including the making of canvas strainer frames, canvas stretching, and canvas floater framing. The floater frames are hand made from Tasmanian Oak and finished in a variety of colours and coatings.  Pricing for these services is available now - just call me to discuss your needs. In the coming weeks the website will be updated with further details of these services, including an image gallery of work recently undertaken. Please stay tuned!

>Printshop's Anita Hochman has an exhibition of new paintings at The Depot Gallery  in Sydney running from May 29th until June 9th 2012. The opening is on Saturday June 2nd from 4pm - 6pm. So if you're in Sydney then, go along and see Anita's beautiful paintings in all their shimmering glory. The gallery is located at 2 Danks Street, Waterloo. Gallery hours are Tues - Sat, 11.00am - 6.00pm.

>The PRINTSHOP "unofficial official launch" at Doggett Street Studio in Brisbane's Newstead was held on Friday the 2nd of December. Forty framed works from the online gallery were on show for 2 days only. We had an amazing attendance, and the works were well received with almost half selling on the night. Thanks to all who came along to support us. We hope to exhibit again mid 2012.
