Print Sale for Japan by East London Printmakers

The Print Sale for Japan took place on Thursday, 14 April 2011, immediately following Roland Kelt’s 4pm lecture, Pop Culture from a Multipolar Japan. The artists of East London Printmakers, an independent artist-run printmaking studio, work in techniques such as hand made stencils, silkscreen, fabric printing, woodcut, etching and photographic processes.  The work is a diverse mix of traditional and contemporary art.  Recent exhibitions include group shows at the City Hall, the V&A Museum of Childhood and the Freud museum, as well as touring shows abroad.

The 200 members include people from over 17 countries, many with an interest in Japanese arts and culture, and several who have visited or lived in Japan.  The funds they collected by selling their art works went to the British Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal.  Examples of the prints that are still for sale can be found here. The Price range is £10-£300.
