The end of their MA beckons.

This is the final countdown.

Thrown together on the first ever MA Printmaking at The University of Wales, Newport, Jo Booth, Andrea Curtis, David Davies and Corinne Gartman are disparate in both their personalities and their approach to printmaking but together they have formed a cohesive group. Working together they are in the process of pulling together a fantastic end of MA show for your delight and delectation.

The images they will present are the accumulation of two years work refining and honing their skills. They hope you will be able to join at the Centrespace Gallery in Bristol in September 2010 as they unveil the spectacle that is, disparate images.
