Basil Hall Editions’ printers work on over 100 editions of prints a year. However, only a small fraction of these beautiful editions appear on our website, as we don’t offer all of them for sale ourselves.
Art Centres based in aboriginal communities, Galleries (such as Nomad Art in Darwin) and other Print Publishers (such as Grahame Galleries in Brisbane) usually commission us to...
John Wolseley returns to BHE in January 2010
John Wolseley has just been back at BHE in mid-January to complete some plate work and “edition” a series of frottaged monoprints he has done for the Nomad Art Project. John spent a week resolving one image, printing the “frottages” with Mats and commencing a new piece with Basil.

The Foundation is the pair of white buildings about a quarter of the way across the picture above the...
