Proffil

Paul Croft trained in Fine Art, specialising in drawing, painting and printmaking. Since he qualified as Master Printer from the world-renowned Tamarind Institute of Lithography in 1996, his research and practice as an artist, printmaker and collaborating printer has culminated in the publication of two books on Stone Lithography and Plate Lithography (UK: A&C Black, 2001 & 2003; USA: Watson-Guptill, 2003; China: JML Fine Art Press, 2003). In 2007 he curated Stone-Plate-Grease-Water, an exhibition of international contemporary lithography, an AHRC-funded research project that has made a significant contribution to the understanding of the nature and diversity of current lithographic practice. The show included 90 prints by 64 artists from the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, Argentina and Jordan, and was accompanied by a catalogue and website (http://www.paulcroft.org/spgw.html).
