 Early in 1989 four artists – Jim Malo, Beverlee McLeod, Edie Miller and Lynn Starter – booked an exhibition of original prints in the Old Schoolhouse Gallery in Qualicum, BC. As they were all printmakers, they decided to form a group and called themselves Printers Only Group (later changed to Printmakers Only Group). They started meeting on a monthly basis in September, 1989 and have continued ever since, with a growing membership and welcoming fellow printmakers. POG members excel in a wide range of printmaking techniques including etching, collograph, serigraph, embossing, relief printing (lino/woodcuts) and monoprinting. The group has two official mandates:
To support its mandates, POG has held several printmaking workshops over the years and has had at least one show each year. |
