Print Club London for December 3rd

Print Club London are going to be weilding the pencils of Yuletide in December.  Print Club is an East London based screenprinting studio that came to my attention because of the great summer show they do.  Lots of previous Heavy Pencil artists have been involved and made beautiful prints with them so it was only a matter of time.  Rose stallard is the co-founder and she’ll be bringing, Chrissie Abott, Hand Wash Studio, and Danny Sangra along.
