Etching House annual art show held in Melbourne saw the most comprehensive collection of Garry Shead fine art limited edition etching prints on display, this collection coverd Garry Shead’s last 25years, the works on display wowed collectors and viewers from all walks of life with that Garry Shead magical etching craft, the etching technique was first started around the 14^th century and today is becoming a very rare technique with the advent of the digital Giclee print age.

Garry Shead is one of the few and one of the very best living Australian artists still using this ancient technique.

Limited edition fine art limited edition prints as well as hand made etchings, silk screens, fine art Giclee and new digital prints were a great hit at the Melbourne Etching House affordable art fair.

Etching House has spent thousands of dollars invested in education people at shows as to the difference between an Etching Silkscreen and a Jeffrey Smart digital reproduction Giclee print digitally signed, this persistence at these shows has slowly paid off. Artist like Olley Olsen and Storrier have been able to hand signed their works; this is reflected in their sell prices. Etching House first introduced Jeffrey Smart digital Giclee reproductions in the first half or 2010, with each year and a huge effort we slowly saw the wonderful imagery of Smarts be embraced as they were presented in great company of other Iconic artist hand signed works see the Etching House web site Jeffrey Smart section.
