Current Issue
Dear Printmakers and Artists,
As the months are racing to the end of the year, we are pleased to send you a selection of articles presented at the IMPACT Conference in September 2023 (where did all those months go?).
These articles are part of the Impact Proceedings from the panel sessions and reflective presentations. We will continue to publish more articles over the following months, keeping you curious and inspired by fellow printmakers.
We will also publish the next Issue 7 shortly, and we would still encourage you to submit through the open submission with your new ideas and research.
Just to welcome you to Zie Smith, who joined the CFPR in 2023 as an Intern for the Impact Printmaking Journal. Zie graduated with an MA in Multidisciplinary Printmaking in January 2023 and has been responsible for preparing articles for publishing in the Impact Journal. Many thanks to Zie for all their hard work.
We will have some news soon about the next conference, which will be in 2025. Please do keep reading and printing and sharing your research and ideas.
Best of wishes
Carinna Parraman, Impact Chair
Zie Smith, Impact Journal Intern
