The Print Circle
The Print Circle is a professional group of women printmakers that operate out of Sydney, New South Wales. The group was created in 1970 by 15 women artists who took pioneering and experimental approaches to printmaking and supported women artists. The group first worked out of Willoughby Arts Centre (then the North Shore Arts Centre) set up by Joy Ewart who included lithographic and etching presses in the centre. Sue Buckley became the first printmaking tutor and was a member of Sydney Printmakers. In 1971 the first Print Circle exhibition was held at Sebert Galleries in the Argyle Centre, Sydney.

Sydney Printmakers
Sydney Printmakers is a collective of professional Australian printmakers, founded in Sydney in 1961. The group was formed to promote and develop the art of printmaking, and to provide a platform for printmakers to exhibit and collaborate. History The group emerged at a time when interest in printmaking was experiencing a resurgence, following a lull after the etching boom of the late 1930s. Sydney Printmakers was established as an alternative to the more conservative art institutions of the time, providing opportunities for artists working in contemporary and experimental print practices. Over the decades, the collective has held numerous exhibitions both nationally and internationally, showcasing a diverse range of printmaking techniques including linocut, etching, lithography, screen printing, collagraphy, and digital processes. It continues to be one of Australia’s longest-running and most respected printmaking collectives. Collections Prints by Sydney Printmakers memb ...
