Guy Begbie at Firestation Print Studio

16/11/2016

0 Comments

 
We again had Guy Begbie here at Firestation Print Studio teaching three different classes of book making. The first was really interesting... Dos a Dos which ended up being Dos a Dos a Dos as there were three "book" bound into one. The next day a few diehards did Perfect Single Sheet Binding which was more technical, but we all produced good results. Lastly, we had a huge class for Draw on your iPad like David Hockney which was really fun and people made very different but wonderful books at the end.

Member Margaret Meadows and her two friends Susan Harris and Fay Valcanis combined to produce a wonderful pop up show of their differing methods all themed about Urchins (the sea variety). There was a lot of hilarity and champers involved and Fay wrote on FB: Exhibited my first work as part of Urchins Three, in collaboration with Margaret Meadows and Susan Harris. Thanks for the opportunity. We love helping people have their first exhibition!

Remote Member's Exhibition at Firestation Print Studio

18/8/2016

0 Comments

 
A very exciting exhibition by our remote members, some of whom I have never met. It is always exciting to open a package containing artworks, but to open a package from an artist whose work you've never seen is VERY exciting indeed. So we have had a ball!  I've had the very good fortune to be assisted by Rebecca, a young intern from the Catholic University.
Heres some pics and a video of the exhibition that Rebecca made (in two parts). Thanks Rebecca!
The exhibition was from 10th August to 3rd September.
