We are 100 UK printmakers creating prints on the theme of Animal Magic, to be sold in aid of two charities - Magic Breakfast, providing healthy school breakfasts to children at risk of hunger in disadvantaged areas of the UK, and Edible Rotherhithe, providing creative learning opportunities through gardening and printmaking sessions in schools. For more information about these charities and what they do, please visit www.magicbreakfast.com and www.ediblerotherhithe.org.uk.
Follow the hashtag #thoughtpressproject on social media to see the project in action and development of designs for final prints! Visit the Shop to order a print.
