This March, East London Printmakers will be making another appearance at the ever so popular Independent Label Market at Old Spitalfields Market.

The market is a fantastic event which offers record labels the opportunity to meet both their audience and their peers. The label founders will be present ensuring that it is a true opportunity to meet the people running the labels.
East London Printmakers is invited as a creative industry that supports the music industry! At the market you’ll get to meet the artists behind the work, giving you the opportunity to meet with the artists, discuss their work and their printmaking techniques.

There will be brand new prints up for grabs, including this one designed by narcsville especially for the market.

The London Brewer’s Market will be there on the day too, which will feature lots of local brewers including our friends Five Points Brewery.

Live music, inspiring artwork, delicious beer and lots and lots of records… we think this will make for a very exciting day!
