The Love of Print, artist demonstration on Saturday 17th December 2022 at 11am – 12 noon.

Join Lin Chau who will demonstrate how she uses the chine collé technique in her work using rice paper and wheat paste. Lin will ink up and print an etching plate during the session. There will be an opportunity to find out more about Lin’s new print “WAVES” made especially for the show.

Lin Chau was born in Hong Kong where she spent her early years before relocating to the UK in the 70s,and is now a multidisciplinary artist based in Scotland. Her practice is underpinned by her connection to the world and her environment—be it social, political, or geographical. Much of her recent work is concerned with displacement and the passing of time.

In addition to drawing as the core of her practice, Chau works with a variety of media from printmaking to filmmaking, continually exploring new creative techniques that invite viewers to consider diverse ways of looking at the interaction of places and landscapes.

Chau became a member of the Glasgow Print Studio in 2016 after graduating from The Glasgow School of Art with a MLitt in Fine Art Practice from Sculpture & Environmental Art and a Bachelor of Fine Art (Hons) in painting and printmaking.

The Love of Print opens on Friday 18 November and runs until 12 March 2023, tickets are £7.50, concession £5, children under 16 are free.

Visited today with my 3 year old grandson. I wish the website, which I checked before booking our tickets, had warned me that every single seat in the Galleries had been removed, including the fold up stools, and that any potential place for sitting down had been blocked off, or had something placed on it to ensure no one could rest for a few minutes. As noted on the website, no cafe or packed lunch facility is available, so no chance of a rest there either.

Granted, all the galleries and viewing areas were open, And staff on site were very courteous and helpful, but I found myself constantly having to explain to my grandson that, no, he couldn’t go there, or that area he usually enjoys so much is blocked off.

Why not just acknowledge on the website that Kelvingrove is currently not suitable for those with very young children, who may want to have lunch at lunchtime, or any older person who might need to sit down occasionally.
Hi Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum - we are so lucky to have the museum open and not even the covid conditions can stop the joy it brings, as Chloe spontaneously showed at the weekend! Thank you! 🥰

My Granddaughters Tammy and Leah in July 2014 they were being very jovial all around the museum that day... lol...
The nation’s most loved places are at risk. Please help us Save Our Scotland today.❤

The impact of coronavirus on the Trust has been devastating. We have had no visitors;
our cafés and shops lie empty; and we’ve had to cancel all our events and holiday rentals.

Our vital conservation work has been put on hold and the majority of our staff are furloughed.

We urgently need your help.
We expect to lose £28 million in income this year, meaning our ability to protect Scotland’s special places now and for the future is threatened.

Hi Kelvingrove - please help me find the original of this Peploe copy - I’ve looked everywhere on the internet without success.
I’m sure the source for the copy was from a card purchased at Kelvingrove.
Hello, I hope the museum will be able to open soon. I have a question about annual art competition. The due date for this year's is 29th of May. My son would like to submit his art work that he managed to finish before the lockdown, but if the museum stay closed, what would be the best way to submit? Any suggestion?
Can't believe a Museum that hosts over at least 5,000 visitors over a weekend is still open to the public whilst Coronavirus is rife.
