'The Real Print Show' Launch

A good time was had by all on Saturday - Martha got to meet a horse in the morning, and then there was 'The Real Print Show' launch in the afternoon...

June Russell has done a really great job of curating 'The Real Print Show' at Fabric Gallery in Bradford. There's a varied of mix of prints on show - different types of printmaking, and contrasting visual styles. I'm not sure how many people will get to see it, as it's in a quiet part of the city with not too much footfall - so if you're interested in printmaking I'd urge you to go along and take a look (it's on until Saturday 14th December).

I'm pleased to have four of my screen prints in the exhibition, including a new print of Huddersfield's historic Beaumont Park, which is getting it's first public outing.

I got to meet some of the other printmakers, which was nice. Enjoyed chatting about people's work and finding out about about how they go about creating it.

Here's a few pics from the exhibition... oh, and Martha meeting that horse!

'The Real Print Show' at Fabric, Bradford

Today I had a nice day out delivering screen prints to The Fabric Gallery in Bradford, ready for 'The Real Print Show', which starts next weekend.

I'm really looking forward to being a part of this exhibition in my former hometown (Huddersfield now feels completely like home to me - I absolutely love the place!). I have a lot of fond memories of Bradford, plus it's where my art & design education began (many years ago at Bradford College). So it's nice to be back there and to be contributing towards cultural happenings in the city.

The launch event for 'The Real Print Show' is on Saturday 19th October, 1 - 3pm. All are welcome. This coincides with Bradford Science Festival 2013 and Reflections event in Centenary Square, so there should be lots going on in Bradford that day!

The printmakers involved in the exhibition are:

Ruth Fettis
Anita Whittle
Angie Rogers
James Bywood
Sarah Harris
Dan Booth
Cath Brooke
Moira McTague
Hester Cox
Emily Harvey
Janis Goodman
Lesley Birch

The exhibition is being curated by the very talented June Russell.

'The Real Print Show' is on until Saturday 14th December, so there's plenty of time to go and see it.
