Warringah Printmakers Studio participated in the Northern Beaches Creative Open this year. Held over four days (27-30 July), Creative Open is a winter arts festival on the Northern Beaches. Featuring exhibitions, open studios, walks and talks, performances and events, the festival is a great way for the public to go behind the scenes and meet local creators, writers and performers. The studio held an open studio over the four days, where we had an exhibition of works on paper with the theme “Printmaking in Action” and printmaking demonstrations. The purpose of the theme was to showcase the various printmaking techniques with clear definitions, grouping prints into categories so visitors could understand the process better. I exhibited two artworks in the exhibition, “The Magpie King”, a linocut with hand-colouring, and “On the Fence”, a drypoint with hand-colouring. I was pleased that “On the Fence” was sold during the exhibition, it’s always lovely seeing red dots :-)
