The end of the year still manages to give us one last art fair to get excited about. Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair has returned to Woolwich Works with another outstanding range of prints for every taste imaginable. This year – their 9th edition – they’ve really challenged the boundaries of printmaking by incorporating 3D-printed works, artist’s books, and big installations.
