'The Birds', by the Double Elephant Print Workshop
3 - 29 September 2012
An exhibition by members of Double Elephant Print Workshop. An array of collectable prints and original cards will be for sale, all on the theme of birds. There will be many English birds featured including blackbirds, swallows, thrushes and finches, inspired by bird life in Devon. Created by hand on traditional presses these are not to be confused with digital printing. Catherine Cartwright, a director of Double Elephant explains,
“I really like printmaking because there’s always things to learn. It’s a processes based medium which means you’re not always in complete control of what’s going to happen at the end. It’s always exciting when you put a print through the press for the first time and then take if off the plate because you never know exactly what’s going to come out. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s not, but you learn through experience."
The Bird Song exhibition can be viewed in the upstairs cafe during opening times between 10am to 5pm, from Tuesday to Sunday. All the art works are framed and are for sale, ranging from £30 to £200.
From linocuts to drypoints, screenprints and etchings, don't miss what is sure to be a very popular exhibition.
