BBH Print Society



Calling all printmakers / artists in the three counties of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire !

This is a fresh new society for printmakers and artists who use any of the hand pulled print methods in their work, to join together.

This collective supported network of printmakers/artists is a Print Society with a difference, embracing classic traditional pure hand pulled etchings, collagraphs, drypoint, mono, aqua and mezzo tints, lino and block printing and also actively encouraging experimental works from artists combining hand pulled prints with other mediums, a specialty of its founder Kim Major-George.

Board Members:

President :                               Kim Major-George
Members Secretary :            Peter George
Selection Board Member :  David Borrington MA RCA – director Dekkle Print
Selection Board Member :  Helen Boden MA  – director Boden Press

The BBH will offer members many opportunities to exhibit their work at events throughout the year and at smaller individual exhibitions driven by its members. But the biggest exhibition of the BBH Print Society will be held once a year, the first year being in Hertfordshire. Thereafter the yearly exhibition will move around the three counties that its members reside or work in.

The first annual exhibition of the BBH. will be held at the Boxfield Gallery in Stevenage from 14th January 2011 to 13th February 2011

This exhibition will be on a selection bases only ensuring standard are kept high. Each member can submit 3 pieces all mounted and framed ( no clip framed allowed) and as many unframed original prints placed in the folio stands for the two main folio weekends.
