Prints from the Seacourt Print Workshop

Prints from the Seacourt Print Workshop, Bangor, Northern Ireland.

In July 2009 Mark Graver (Wharepuke Print Studio -Kerikeri) was invited to run a non toxic printmaking workshop at the Seacourt Print Workshop in Bangor. During the two day course they explored acrylic resist etching using copper sulphate and salt to etch aluminium plates. The resist used was an acrylic floor polish and the prints were printed using Akua water based intaglio inks.

Since the workshop the members of Seacourt have been working with, and developing, these techniques to produce the works included in this exhibition.

It is hoped that Catherine Thompson, Chair of Seacourt’s Board of Directors will be able to attend the exhibition and give a talk about Seacourt at a closing reception – details will follow nearer the time
