Merry Christmas!

It's our last day!

It's been a blast, but at 4pm today we'll be closing our doors forever!

We'd like to thank all of the printmakers and guest artists who were involved in making our vision for unique printing space and celebration of Bristol printmakers a reality, and all of you who have taken the time to visit us and share your enthusiasm for printing.

It's not too late to drop in today and have a look at some of the extraordinary prints and wares that our printmakers have to offer, so why not pop in and enjoy some festive cheer with us.

New for Volume 4: Finishing Touches

...I know!  We can't quite believe it either, but there's only a week to go before The Print Shop closes its doors for good at 4pm on Christmas Eve.

Luckily, there's still time to grab those all important purchases from our team of local printmakers.  For those of you lucky ones who've almost finished your Christmas shopping (we salute you), here are a few finishing touches, designed to finish your gifts in style...

1. Christmas gift bags | By Bella Barton from £2.00

2. New Christmas gift tags | By Jill Spence

3. New Christmas gift tags | By Carys Ink

4. Screenprinted Christmas gift tags | By Sophie Rae

5. Super Christmas card | By Pirrip Press

New for Volume 4: Hand-printed decorations

We love these hand-printed wooden decorations by Carys Ink, available in various shades of red, prink and white, both individually or in sets of three.  In fact, we liked them so much, they're currently in pride of place in our window display, hanging from The Print Shop's wooden tree.

Carys' clever bottle top decorations flew out of the door, so make sure you snap these beauties up while stocks last!

1. Individual decoration £3  | 2. Set of 3 £8

New for Volume 4: Chalkboards

Screen-printer Carys Ink has been busy dreaming up all sorts of innovative, 'upcycled' items for this round of The Print Shop.  These super chalkboards, made from reclaimed scaffolding planks from the Bristol Wood Project, have been hand screen-printed, finished and assembled with a cord ready for you to hang it up and record important memos or friendly greetings!

The boards are available in two bold designs, pictured above, which we're sure will be incredibly popular, so drop in and see them for yourself.

1. Sandwich board character £20  | 2. Little bird £16

HAND-PRINTED DECORATIONS BY LUCY DAVEY

We were very excited to see these beautiful, hand screen-printed decorations by Lucy Davey appear in The Print Shop for Volume 4.

Lucy has been busy in the Drawn in Bristol studio, printing these two-colour designs onto cute wooden hearts, which are ready to hang from your tree with a delicate brown cord.  Although they're suitably festive, we reckon you could get away with pinning them up as a lovely keepsake all year round.

There's a limited number of these for sale in the shop, so snap them up while stocks last!
