The three-day event was the brainchild of the multi-talanted artist, who is also part of the Halesowen based Fizzogs group, and featured an array of print, mixed media and print exhibits, demonstrations and stalls, and was held at Newhampton Arts Centre, in Dunkley Street, Whitmore Reans.

Jacky says: "I am an artist, I've got a studio at Newhampton Arts Centre and I'm a printmaker as well so I do a lot of printmaking workshops in the community. 

"I've always been interested in art, but then at about 2014 I'd been with the Fizzogs for a while and I just wanted to explore a different part of the art.  I went to Stourbridge College and did a foundation course and then that kind of led naturally on to me doing a degree at Wolverhampton University where it turned out that the two things I didn't want to do, photography and printmaking, were the only things on offer and I ended up doing them in the end.
