Ipswich PrintWeek Exhibition 2022
I’m really pleased to announce that one of my prints has been selected to appear in the Ipswich PrintWeek Exhibition 2022 at the Whistler Gallery, Jerwood Dance House, Ipswich.
The lino print is titled ‘Orford Ness’ and is A3 in size. The print is my interpretation of the Suffolk Coastline at Orford and Orford Ness, a fascinating area and an important site for nature conservation.
This is the second annual Ipswich PrintWeek and is running from 21st - 28th May 2022. It is a celebration of printmaking at venues in and around Ipswich. As well as the exhibition, the team at Tower Street Print Project will be putting on free workshops, ‘Have-a-go’ sessions, a Q&A and demonstrations. There will be something for everyone, so I would definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area!
