EXHIBITION STATEMENT

Studio One Printmaking Workshop was a dynamic access and editioning studio in Kingston. It was founded by Dianne Fogwell and Meg Buchanan in 1982 and operated until 2000 under a number of Directors, including Basil Hall, who ran the studio from 1987-1996. During this exciting period numerous Canberra printmakers honed their craft, many following degrees at Canberra School of Art, but many more learning etching, lithography and relief printing for the first time as access users and class members. Studio One’s facilities complemented those at Megalo, where silkscreen printing equipment was available for access use. In addition to classes, school holiday programs and weekend workshops, Studio One also offered an editioning services to artists Australia-wide.

This exhibition, drawn from Basil Hall’s boxes of Printer’s Proofs and mementoes, includes prints by Mandy Martin, Jorg Schmeisser, Paul Peisley, George Gittoes, Raymond Arnold, Garry Shead, Pamela Challis, Bob Russell, GW Bot, Chris Denton, Dianne Fogwell, Julie Bradley, Sylvia and Tony Convey and many, many more!

Workshop in Large Scale Drypoint on Cardboard with Jenny Robinson

by Leave a Comment

With Jenny Robinson

Sunday 4th -Thursday 8th February 2024. Cost: AUD $1,350

See Terms and Conditions below.

This workshop focuses on a completely non-toxic, low-cost, low-tech approach to making your own Drypoint plates. You will learn the method developed by Jenny Robinson that will enable you to create intricate images that closely emulate traditional etching in a fraction of the time and without the use of expensive, toxic materials, such as acids and rosins.

Through a series of detailed demonstrations, you will learn how to make your own drypoint plates, explore mark making techniques using a wide range of tools and textures, and develop wiping techniques to create tone and atmosphere. You will be given two cardboard plates to work on to make one larger image which we will then print on the large press.

This workshop is limited to 5 participants to ensure that all artists get the most intensive experience from this masterclass, with time and space to develop a small varied edition of large drypoint prints.
