Printmaking: Mystery and Method explores how the wide-ranging techniques of printmaking are used by artists to make intriguing and curious work.

For this exhibition, members of Sevenoaks Visual Arts Forum (SVAF) were challenged to submit work resulting from the transfer of marks from one surface, (the plate or matrix), to another (generally, but not exclusively, paper), by the artist. Exhibitors and especially those who do not usually use printmaking as a method, have been encouraged to experiment and improvise in order to produce fresh, new work.

Printmakers often work alongside each other in shared studio facilities and tend to help each other to problem solve, share discoveries, and form communities. This exhibition celebrates the coming together of a small community of new and experienced printmakers.
