We're SO happy to announce that our Artful Printmaking Edition box has been shortlisted for a 2024 Gift of the Year Award in the Contemporary Gift category!
- Why is this a BIG deal?
The Gift of the Year awards are highly respected industry honours and they recognise the best new products, talent and inspiration each year.
They're the ultimate recognition for all the hard work and dedication that goes behind creating a new product, so we're super honoured just to be shortlisted!
Winning would make Artful a multi-award winning brand, having picked up the Indy Best Buy award back in 2021.

The Artful Printmaking Box was designed for printmaking beginners and pros alike and is filled with everything required to create stunning art using printing processes.
As well as high-quality materials, the box includes a magazine packed with ‘How to’ tutorials but also interviews with professionals and interesting articles.
The best part about this Artful box? It's retail-ready so just pop it on the shelf and it's ready to go!
Wanna see the Artful Printmaking Box in person? We'll be taking it with us to Top Drawer, London, between the 14th - 16th January 2024.
- A little bit about Printmaking
Printmaking is a broad term for the process of transferring images from one surface onto another to create a print. You can find examples of printmaking in fine art but also in everyday life, like posters, newspapers, magazines and books!
Throughout history, printmaking has served as an affordable way to communicate and share art, allowing text and images to be easily replicated. Printmaking played a huge role in the mass production of newspapers, for example, but nowadays there's a lot of value attributed to one-off prints made by hand.
There are several printmaking techniques such as etching, woodblock, engraving, lithography, screen-printing and more...
Created by Ohh Deer, Artful offers a selection of starter boxes for various art mediums, making it a quirky as well as premium gift idea.
Shop the Printmaking box via the Ohh Deer wholesale website here. You can also find Clay, Ink, Studio Markers and other Artful Editions here.
This year's Gift of the Year awards take place on Thursday 16 May 2024 in London. Find out more at https://www.giftoftheyear.co.uk/
