Ten Years of Miniature Prints The University of the West of England is holding a ten day exhibition at Bankside Gallery, to celebrate ten years of printmaking in its Print Centre. Each of the 300 miniature masterpieces on display is tiny - at 3" x 4" - smaller than the average postcard. Within these confines, the range of subject matter and use of materials is astonishing - from the quirky humour of Marie-Frederique Dupre's "Celebration" to the technical excellence of Linda Littiedyke's ‘The Cloud of Unknowing’. Perfect for St Valentine's Day are the flowers prints - designed to delight and at a price that won't break the bank manager's heart! All prints are original and are priced at just £22 (unframed). Specially designed frames are also available at £8. All work in the exhibition has been done by staff and students who have worked at the Print Centre in the last ten years. Venue: Bankside Gallery, 48

The centre is at the forefront of Innovation In the art of printmaking, recently introducing water-based screenprinting to the UK and instructing other institutions in its use. The staff are also regular contributors to "Printmaking Today", one of the most authoritative journals on the subject.
