Over 250 independent makers open their virtual doors on 3–4 October, offering prints, ceramics, jewellery and more at up to 75% off… and the People of Print® membership community is well represented.

Super Seconds Festival is back for its twelfth edition and it remains one of the most straightforward propositions in independent making: makers list samples, misprints and end-of-line stock at prices that genuinely move, and collectors get direct access to work they might otherwise never afford. From 10am on Saturday 3 October, over 250 makers from across the UK and beyond will open their virtual doors for a two-day sale, with discounts of up to 75% across print, ceramics, jewellery and more.

The model works because it respects both sides of the transaction. For makers, it offers a clean route for work that falls outside their usual standards without requiring it to disappear into a box. For buyers, it is a reminder that a slight registration shift or a test pull that ran warm is often the most interesting print in the room. Twelve editions in, the sale has built a loyal following that knows exactly what it is turning up for.

The People of Print community is well represented this year. Among the makers taking part:
