Ian McKay, Resident Toymaker!

For the past ten days we have had the privilege of having Ian McKay, creator of automata and mechanical toys, in residency at our print studios here in the Bluecoat! Based just outside Bath, Ian uses wood, metal and found materials in his work. He combines them with an avid interest in machines and moving parts he gained from his favourite job (working in a chicken factory!) to make toys that not only create a sense of nostalgia but also contain an element of surprise. See some of his work here: www.ianthetoymaker.co.uk.

Relatively new to the print making scene, Ian used his time here to experiment with new techniques, including screen printing, monoprinting and drawing onto drypoint card, using the different media to change his approach to his pictures and mark making. On working with new materials the artist said: "to be allowed to work in a different discipline is an interesting thing to do. Crossovers are important - they give you interesting results".

Here are some examples of work created during his visit:

Many thanks to Ian for coming and working with us, it will be exciting to see where printing takes you in your work!

For more information on using either the screen print or intaglio studios you can contact us at print@thebluecoat.org.uk, follow us on Twitter @lpoolprint, or call our lovely Tickets and Info staff on 0151 702 5324. Don't forget to keep checking our New Courses and Workshops page for chances to learn a huge range of printing techniques.

Work On Paper: Elizabeth Willow - last chance to see!

Paper, the strength of it, and the fragility. The scent of it. The way it creases and curls, stains and strains, tears, cuts and is cut. Disintegrates and falls like petals, like forgetting.

Kept, pinned here.

Work On Paper is a collection of fragments. It considers the nature of paper, its qualities of strength and delicacy, and its dwindling use as a receptacle for thought and memory.

Elizabeth Willow is a fine artist based in Liverpool. Her work uses sculpture, installation, artist’s books and performance to find meaning and tell stories, exploring our relationships with objects, place and time. 

This delicate show is on until 6pm Tuesday 11th December and admission is free so come down to the Bluecoat and take a look!

Or at least his work is! We are very excited to be able to host one of the first exhibitions at the Bluecoat dedicated entirely to print and who better to celebrate than William Kentridge? Showing over 100 prints by the internationally renowned South African artist, this will be his first solo UK exhibition. The show is called A Universal Archive: William Kentridge as Printmaker, a Hayward Touring exhibition, and will run from 7 December 2012 – 3 February 2013. See the press release from the Bluecoat below: 

This major exhibition will include 100 prints in all media dating from 1988 to the present, ranging in scale from intimate etchings and drypoints to linocuts measuring 2.5 metres high. New works from Kentridge’s ongoing series Universal Archive, including Cat Assemblage (2012) and 12 Coffee Pots (2012), will be shown in Britain for the first time. With a stress on experimental and serial works, this exhibition will highlight Kentridge’s distinctive use of light and shadow and silhouettes, his concern with memory and perspective, and his absorption in literary texts. 
Highlights of the exhibition include Art in a State of Hope and Art in a State of Siege (both 1988), early silkscreens which mark Kentridge’s transition from designing posters for political protests and theatre productions into fine art printmaking; Living Language (1999), a series of experimental drypoint prints on vinyl LPs; Telephone Lady and Walking Man (both 2000), two surreal life-sized figures in linocut; Portage (2000), an accordion-folded book spanning 4 metres, with silhouetted figures collaged onto pages of the French encyclopedia Le Nouveau Larousse Illustré; Nose (2007-2010), a series of thirty small–scale prints inspired by the Russian novelist Nikolai Gogol’s story ‘The Nose’. 
Acclaimed for his animated films, drawings, theatre and opera productions, Kentridge started his career studying etching at the Johannesburg Art Foundation, and printmaking has remained central to his practice ever since. In the past two and a half decades he has produced more than 400 prints, including etchings, engravings, aquatints, silkscreens, linocuts and lithographs; often experimenting with challenging formats and a combination of techniques.  
Bryan Biggs, Artistic Director at the Bluecoat, said: ‘We are delighted to be the fist venue to host this important exhibition by one of the world’s leading artists, for whom drawing is at the heart of his art practice and pushing the possibilities of printmaking is a continuing concern.

Biennial Printmaking Exhibition - Curve Gallery

An exhibition of large scale wood cuts and sculptural floor installations featuring 2 artists that are challenging the boundaries of contemporary printmaking.

Curve Gallery OPENING NIGHT Friday 19th October 6 - 9PM

Antipodean CUTS : Luke Beezley

 
Diverse associations arise from Australian artist Luke Beezley’s exploration of foliated skeletal forms. A surrealists game is played out amid the cultural iconography of Banksia, birds, lizards and bones of a vast and brutal Australian landscape. This exhibition of large scale wood cut prints for Curve Gallery UK by Australian based artist Luke Beezley will be his first exhibition outside of Australia. 

 

 Maere PANELS: Tracy Hill

This new experimental body of work from Tracy Hill is part of her developing research investigating new technologies in print. It is Hill's intention to examine the new opportunities these alternatives offer expanding the language and boundaries of printmaking. The process of printing in her work responds directly to the nature of layering and of building surfaces which resonates with the years of history and palimpsest within our landscape.

Hire Charge Increase at the Bluecoat

Following four years' of very low hire charges with no change and costs rising on every side, the Bluecoat is putting up its hire fee to individuals:

Cost of hiring (intaglio or screen) print studio for a session (3.5hrs) was £10. Now £14.

Good news is.. cost of hiring to a group of 3 - 6 remains the same at £25. Cost of supported session (Monday morning with technician on hand) also remains the same at £20. Now how great is that?

Still the cheapest in the North West and still no membership fee.

Beginners Etching classes

What do you get if you mix acid, a zinc plate, intaglio ink and a 100 year old press? Sign up to our Intro to Etching course and find out!

The very approachable Emma Gregory will show you how to use non-toxic techniques to transform your drawings into an edition of prints with a relief effect you can't from screenprinting. This is a centuries old method of printing that produces spectacular results and is incredibly versatile.

The course runs on Tuesday evenings from the 30th October to the 20 November, from 6-9pm. The cost is £95 (£85 concession), and spaces are still available! You can book by calling 0151 702 5324 and speaking to someone on our lovely Box office team.

Happy printing!

Print Studio Residency

Here at the Bluecoat we are very excited by the start of a print residency of Lisa Who and Gill Curry, who will be printing non-stop for the next few weeks to create a stunning range of work.

Lisa Who, the Creative Director of Curve gallery in Australia has studios here in Liverpool and is a regular on the Northern print scene. Her work focuses on figurative and architectural forms inspired by travel and the urban environment.

Gill Curry has a background in Fine Art and Contemporary Dance and now specialises in a range of print techniques, including screenprint, linocut, woodcut and etching. She is based in the North West and recent work includes a study of the life and work of Merce Cunningham, a contemporary dancer and choreographer.

We will keep you posted with pictures and work during this frantic period of creativity, so watch this space!

Eunice Kim collograph

Whilst browsing the web looking for printing inspiration I stumbled upon the work of Eunice Kim, a Korean born printmaker now based in Seattle. Kim utilises repetitive dots and marks to create subtle and visually stunning work using her chosen medium, collograph. What's even better is she uses sustainable and non-toxic techniques! Fantastic stuff.



Tessellation (144-3) #6, collograph, 2011

After a bit more digging I found an essay written by Kim on the processes she uses - it can be seen at www.nontoxicprint.com, also an excellent resource for a wide range of printmaking techniques.

Porous #42, collagraph with chine collé, 2007

Take a look at more of her work at www.eunicekim.net, and if you just happen to be travelling around Poland this Autumn you can see her work at the International Print Triennial in Kraków until the 28th October.

Laser cutting follow up course

Back in February we ran a fantastic demonstration on the uses and versatility of laser cutting. Now, thanks to the lovely people at  POD, we can offer a full six-session course on how to prepare your drawings and images to laser cut onto paper, acrylic, fabric and wood. You don't need to have seen the demonstration, this course is suitable for all abilities!


Look at the cool stuff you could make!

"I'd say that there would be a high level of play and experimentation with the toolset and that people will be able to concentrate on a personal project throughout the process. The Workshops will aim to give people a strong understanding of the processes and capabilities of laser cutting as well as a grounding in creating compatible digital files of their work." Andrew Hooper, Design Coordinator at POD and course leader.

The high level of detail and intricacy achieved by Laser cutting is making it extremely popular in the art and fashion worlds alike. How about these laser cut T-Shirts from PERF, or interlocking coasters from design studio Michiel Cornelissen Ontwerp - pretty funky huh?

Laser cutting is perfect if you have had thoughts of an intricate design but didn't know how to go about it. How about some beautiful Christmas cards, or a bold statement piece of jewellery? The possibilities are endless!

The course runs from the 1st November - 6th December, Thursday evenings 6-9pm. The cost is £150/£135, to be confirmed.

If you are interested, then give our T&I office a ring on 0151 702 5324 to book your place.




Olympic posters at the Walker Art Gallery

Colourful design by Otmar Alt

With London 2012 well under way, we thought we'd contribute to the Olympic spirit with a look at 18 lithographic prints from the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, currently on display at the Walker Art Gallery. The show has been put together to 'relate artistic activity to the Olympic Games', exploring the first ever artist-commissioned series to promote the sporting extravaganza. The room has a range of styles, from Pop Art graphics to the more painterly Abstract Expressionism, from such internationally renowned artists as Allen Jones, Oskar Kokoshka, Ron Kitaj and David Hockney.

The artists were chosen by the 1972 Olympic organising committee and used themes ranging from the strength and movement of the human body to the competition between sporting brands, as shown in the poster by Allen Jones.

The posters awaiting framing

The show is on for the duration of the Olympic Games with free entry.

New courses!

The list of new courses and workshops for our fantastic print studios is now available for all to see on our Downloads page! With the return of the laser-cutting people from POD, along with poster printing and book-making, there is something for everybody to get involved in. Fancy learning a new skill? Or maybe introducing a loved one to the wonderful world of print? Places are easy to book - just call our lovely Tickets and Information team on 0151 702 5324.

Happy Printing!

Printing on to ceramics with Dave Fortune

Design by Louise Morgan

Over the weekend we were very happy to have Dave Fortune come and demonstrate his knowledge of printing on to ceramics. Using a process and specialist paper he developed himself, this technique allows you to transfer a screen print onto bowls, dishes or any other piece of crockery (for example this stunning plate by Louise Morgan shown above).

Dave Fortune with others

The technique involves screen printing onto acrylic Decal paper, leaving it to dry and then using warm water to lift the print intact off the paper. You then slide it onto a piece of ceramic, move it into position and when it's dry, fire it in a kiln to leave a smooth, polished and water-resistant piece of art.

A selection of the prints ready for transfer

More designs by Louise Morgan

New and Exciting! Watch videos of the session on our new YouTube channel - just follow this link!

Anne Desmet exhibition at the Bluecoat

Just this afternoon a show has gone up in the Bluecoat of the work of Anne Desmet RA RE REW, a specialist in wood-engraving, linocut and mixed media collages. Anne is a frequent exhibitor at  the RA show in London and editor of Printmaking Today, the quarterly graphics and print journal, so we're very excited to see her work here! Entitled Olympic Metamorphoses, the show focuses on the "archaeological and architectural development of the Olympic site in east London" (source here). Anne is represented by Hart Gallery, London.

Unusually all the prints on show are for sale, and entry to the exhibition is absolutely free. For details call Tickets and Information on 0151 702 5324.

This show is moving to Editions Ltd. on Cook Street on the 12th July.

Gum Arabic Skill Share on Monday 25 June 10 – 1.30pm in Intaglio Space at the Bluecoat

Loraine and Chris Waites have been experimenting with the Gum Arabic technique to improve the quality and consistency of their results. There are several governing factors. One is to maintain the integrity of the paper plate over a larger number of prints.  They believe they’ve made a breakthrough by using a brush technique rather than a roller to apply the ink to the Gum Arabic soaked paper.  They will demonstrate this new technique (adapted from a workshop led by ceramic artist Brad) and there will be time to have a go. They will also bring along examples of the type of image that work well with this technique.

If you want to come along please book by emailing Emma: print@thebluecoat.org.uk. There are only six places for this free opportunity.

Screenadelica , 17th - 19th May

It's here again! Liverpool's biggest gig poster exhibition is happening as part of Liverpool Sound City from the 17th - 19th May. 25 international artists are showing a range of printing styles promoting their favourite bands, inspired by the music they listen to. Taking place at the Academy of Arts at 36 Seel Street, Liverpool, admission is free and a full line-up of bands will be playing over the whole weekend.

Printing onto plaster with Tracy Hill

Fantastic local artist and teacher Tracy Hill introduced 6 people to the world of printing onto plaster in our intaglio studios. This versatile technique allows printers to create a wide range of print, painterly and relief effects in plaster, and can be used with intaglio plates, collagraph and silk screen printing.

Making mountboard moulds to frame the intaglio plates

Moulds of mountboard are secured around the inked intaglio plate, and then wet plaster poured in and left to set. Once the plaster is touch-dry, you can continue to work with the ink, smudging or removing it with your fingers or using a craft knife can reveal clean, fresh plaster and create new layers in your work. You can also screen print onto the plaster to make the most of the relief effects created by an etched plate. 

Screen printing onto the dried plaster

The printing side is a two man job

Securing the edges of the blocks with masking tape

Stay tuned for pictures of the finished results, and check out Tracy Hill's website to see her artwork using the same techniques.


If you're interested in booking a place on a course, or hiring out our studios, call our lovely Tickets and Information team on 0151 702 5324. Happy printing!  

20:20 print exchange exhibition

A fantastic collection of work from printmakers across the UK and Ireland has made its way to the Bluecoat: the result of a print exchange. 

Each artist involved in the show sent an edition of 25 (identical) prints to Hot Bed Press in Salford. Staff there sorted the prints and sent back a ‘lucky dip’ of 10 prints to each artist.  

The Bluecoat's print studios took part. Our contributors were Sacha Spyrou, Lisa Who, Hannah Fray, Jen Allanson, Dave Rees, Frances Disley, Mick Gill, Dave Evans, Sue Maclaren, Rhonda Davies, Bee Hughes, Colette Whittington and Martin Kochany…and Bluecoat tenants: Susan Comer and Christine Toh. 

Size was restricted to 20cm by 20cm, hence the title of the project. Hot Bed Press kept one of each print for exhibition purposes and we have a selection of them, including etchings, relief prints, collographs and lithographs.

The show will run until  and admission is completely free, so come along and have a look!

A selection of the prints on display

There are currently 86 print workshops allowing public access in the UK and Ireland. For the past 3 years Hot Bed Press in Salford has organised an open print exchange. Over 200 artists from the UK and Ireland took part this year.

Mezzotint and Drypoint with Andreas Vietz

Earlier this month saw the Mezzotint and Drypoint workshop here in the print studios at the Bluecoat with German artist Andreas Vietz. We've had some glowing reports back from people on the course, and some very exciting work has come out of it!



Andreas with others in the Intaglio studio. 



 "Many thanks for another great workshop which was very enjoyable and inspiring (we have started looking  where we can buy some Mezzotint Rockers next time we are in London. We loved the range of marks and effects that can be achieved with drypoint and mezzotint. It was a pleasure to work the plate with just a few simple tools (and no chemicals) to great effect."

Loraine Waites
