Print opportunity

My prints will be appearing at the Derby Open 2022. The Derby Print Open is an exhibition showcasing contemporary printmaking from artists based in the United Kingdom. The Derby Print Open was created in 2018, by Green Door Printmaking Studio, with a simple ideology; to promote printmaking and printmakers around the UK. The show will be on display from 1st June – 30th June. The prints below are amongst the ones I have on show. https://www.derbyprintopen.org/

Prints on show

With lockdown x 3 the arts have struggled this year, with many events & exhibitions being cancelled or postponed. It looked as if the annual Rugby Open Art Competition would happen breifly, however lockdown 3 intervened. The exhibition is currently on display, with hopes that socially distanced visitors will be allowed in before it is dismantled in April. I have had two prints selected, which I have shown below, along with the link to the online catalogue and overall exhibition.

Lithography skill development

After some trial and error I’ve begun to develop more printmaking skills. Lithography is something I’ve been wanting to learn for some time. Watching You Tube videos and making many errors I’ve taught myself lithography using polyester plates. One day I would like to try stone lithography. In the meantime I can see the potential of the technique and looking forward to being more experimental.
