    PRINTLINK EXHIBITION PROFILES WORK OF CRAVEN ARTISTS 14TH NOVEMBER-13TH DECEMBER 2009 MUSEUM OF NORTH CRAVEN LIFE, THE FOLLY, IN SETTLE Opening times: Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday 11.30am-4.30pm A new exhibition, called Printlink, at the Museum of North Craven Life in Settle will feature the work of five printmakers, all living and working in the Craven District of North Yorkshire. The exhibition is inspired by the geographical connections between the Printlink artists from Skipton, to Ribblehead , Middleton to Appletreewick. The physical links between these locations, including the Pennine Way and the railways and canals with their heritage and history, are all reflected in the show. The Printlink collective have exhibited together for over six years. Over this time the group have worked to raise awareness and understanding of the many different printmaking processes. They are also keen to encourage people to get involved in printmaking as a form of self-expression and run regular workshops to help develop new skills. Artist Philippa Troutman, a member of the Prinklink collective, said: “The friendships that have developed and the professional support that we offer to each other strengthens the group and makes exhibiting together an exciting and pleasurable activity. As printmakers we bring an interest and understanding of each others working methods. We are committed to promoting printmaking in the region and often run activities together.” Printmaking is an art form that includes a variety of processes involving the making of a plate from which an image is produced. These processes include screen printing, linocut, woodcut and etching.
