January 2010 - News

We are open daily Monday to Friday from 9.30am - 5.30pm, Saturdays 11.00am to 5.00 pm. The current show, Silver and Black, is OPEN until January 17th and visitors are welcome! The show also includes a browser where you can view pieces from our past shows.

Our screenprint studio is busy again with projects for customers and artists editioning their work through us, and with a new edition in our series of Sheffield Superhero prints by Jim Connolly.

In the framing studio and digital print studio, we are kicking off the new year with some interesting projects for various clients including the University of Sheffield, a solicitors' office in Chancery Lane in London, and a serviced office complex in Walsall.

Our website shop is building up in content all the time and well worth a browse - if you are thinking ahead to St Valentine's day, have a look at Pam's Diary the screen print we made from an old edition of a coffee-break magazine from the 1950s...

December '09: Silver & Black - A Group Show of Exclusive Screenprints

Build / Cat Johnston / The Designers Republic / Dust / Emily Forgot / Ian Stevenson / Kid Acne / Kiosk / Martin Bedford / Phlegm / Robin Beck / She One / Susie Wright / Sylvia Ugga / TADO / Tokyo Jo / Tom J. Newell / T-Rex

Following on from the Halloween shenanigans of blood oaths, skulls and smashing pumpkins (literally of course; we played strictly black metal, not Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness) Archipelago are proud to present Silver & Black - the third in a series of exhibitions curated by Sheffield artist and all round good egg, Kid Acne.

This unique group show unites some of the UK's most prestigious designers, illustrators and graphic artists alongside the rising talents from South Yorkshire to Shoreditch.

Each individual has been given complete free reign, the only guideline was to produce a piece of work using just Silver & Black. Some have used the silver to represent Sheffield's "knife and fork town" heritage, some have interpreted it as a shiny vision of the future. Others more abstract and some just plain dumb!

Whatever their choice, the result is an incredibly striking show of metallic editions incorporating a diverse range of typography, illustrations and graphic design - All of which have been printed in house by resident screen printer and BMX wizard, Josh Bedford.
