ART ON THE MOVE
Hi Visitor,
As part of our on-going outreach to inspire and reward up-coming artist/printmakers, Michelle Avison, the co-founder of Slaughterhaus presented our annual printmaker student of the year award to M.A. student Sarah Gursoy-Heuser from Camberwell Art College. Sarah works in London, Berlin and Istanbul and has been working on a series of prints around the idea of the mother/daughter bond. Slaughterhaus has been a proud prize contributor to Camberwell for the last seven years; Ms Avison noted that she thought Sarah’s work was an outstanding example of her studio’s core creative ethos: “Excellence in the craft of thoughtful, experimental, push the boundary printmaking”
And it is this “push the boundary” printmaking that will be on display in our major Community-oriented exhibition in early October. Ms. Avison told us that she felt it imperative for her studio, though small, to really make every effort to engage with and shape the contribution of art in the community. Now entering its tenth year, this determination has been an integral part of the studio’s mission. And in October, the intention is to reach out to the thought leaders, the movers and shakers, those passionate and committed to making a better community, to join us for an evening of art at the studio.
All of our printmakers will be dedicating prints for sale (in order to raise funds for the studio). We hope it will be an evening to remember.
And of course, this month as always, we’ll be engaging with printmakers, of all ages and levels of artistic experience, through our increasingly popular courses and “taster sessions”. These are all taught by artists who offer that duality of experience: experience as printmakers and experience as tutors. Our website has all the details.
We welcome you to give us a call and give art a try
Linocut Printing: Layers of Colour
Inspired by The Grosvenor School linocuts showing in Cutting Edge: Modernist British Printmaking at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in June, you will learn how to make a multi-colour linocut. You will look at examples of work by artists such as Sybil Andrews and use some of the same techniques to develop your prints. This will include planning the image over multiple blocks, how to register the different colours, mixing ink and printing by hand and on our Albion Press.
Thursdays 1, 8, 15, 22 August, 6.00-9.00pm
Tutor: Michelle Avison, Rob White
Cost: £235, includes lino, inks and paper.
An Introduction to Stone Lithography
Join studio artist Matt Young for this one-day introduction to stone lithography. Learn about how to grain a stone, how to make a drawing using greasy drawing materials and how to process the stone ready for printing. Participants will work on shared stones to help each other to understand this complex but very rewarding printmaking process. You will take at least one print of your image and it will be possible arrange to come back to the studio afterwards to continue to print if you would like to.
If you have attended any previous Stone Lithography classes at SLAUGHTERHAUS, you can join this class to continue your practice, continue printing your stone and prepare and make more prints.
Saturday 24 August, 2019, 10.00 -5.00pm
Tutor: Matt Young
Cost: £115. 4 places. All materials included.
This four-day course will take you on an exploration of prints and printmaking. It is designed to both give you inspiration from looking at artists' work, but also by giving you the opportunity to draw in and around London, to learn from looking at prints and the work of artist printmakers and to explore print technique by making a series of images across different techniques. Starting on day one with a visit to the Tate Prints and Drawings Room, you will look at artists who have been inspired by London, and at a range of different printmaking techniques. You will have the opportunity to draw directly in the Tate Gallery, and then, work outside next to the river and the Houses of Parliament directly onto drypoint plates.
