'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!

Well, who'd have thought it :-)

I was thrilled to be commended at the Flourish Printmaking Award Ceremony tonight.


The winner was Sara Clark, with myself, June Russell and Moira McTague all being commended.



It feels like quite an achievement and it means a lot to me. Flourish was one of the things that inspired me to take up screen printing in the first place (to be specific, seeing Emma Lawrenson's solo show at Huddersfield Art Gallery). So to be a part of Flourish 2012 is really something special.
