Location: Mission Gallery
Printmaking Demonstrations with Swansea Print Workshop Members, Rosie Scribblah, Anne Gullick and Louise Hughes.
Join us at Mission Gallery as we experience three printmakers showcasing their practice. This free demonstration session will give you a glimpse of how they work and allow you to chat with the artists whilst they work.
2pm: Linocut demonstration with Rosie Scribblah
My printmaking practice is based on drawing from life. I carry a sketchbook wherever I go, and I reinterpret these drawings into linocuts and woodcuts, monotypes, and screenprints. I'm not particularly precious about the medium; I often combine different printmaking techniques on one piece of work.
Using her existing blocks, Rosie will be printing her Mari Lwyd designs onto monotype papers. She’ll also be bringing ‘flat-pack Mari’ to the gallery!
2.30pm: Collagraph demonstration with Anne Gullick
The natural world provides me with plenty of inspiration. I try to capture textural qualities, colours, patterns and forms and incorporate them into my work using mixed media techniques and processes.
Anne will share her block-making process, and demonstrate how to impress marks to create imagery using a variety of tools. She’ll carefully apply ink, allowing for tonal variety and strength of line, and she’ll print onto a range of prepared papers.
3pm: Gelli Print demonstration with Louise Hughes
As a retired educationist, avid traveller and wildlife photographer, I am developing a new artistic avenue as a printmaker.
This is a relatively new method of printmaking without the need of a press. Louise will show us how to apply ink using a brayer onto a soft gelatine plate. She’ll use objects and stencils to mask the plate and transfer textured images to paper.
