Summer School always provides the opportunity to revitalise our practice, and strengthen our printmaking ties. It was exciting to welcome so many new faces from all over NZ to the hosting region, Auckland. The importance of having the summer school in different regions around the motu is evident from the rich connections and associations that happen over the week.
