Multi-Plate Etching with Al Gow
Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th December 2024, 10am - 5pm
This course will introduce you to multi-plate etching, opening up endless possibilities for colour printing.
Offsetting an etched image from one plate on to one or more plates to achieve pin-point registration will be demonstrated.
You will make your own plates and be encouraged to experiment with colour, looking at À la poupée inking and overlapping colour.
The tutor will work with each participant to realise a finished multi-plate print.

Last Chance to See //
Charlie Ward's solo show Based on a True-ish Story ends on Saturday 27 April.
Using his own unrealised screenplays as a starting point, Ward's images combine personal stories, scripted dialogue and sketches to present a new context for the work in a printmaking form.
Working mostly in classic cinematic aspect ratios (16:9 & 4:3) this series focuses particularly on real-ish locations and scenes of personal importance, where the removal of information often presents an unresolved scene, which encourages a collaboration with the viewer.
Charlie Ward is a writer and artist working in painting and printmaking. His work explores context, texture, composition, memory and absence of details. Using source materials such as sketchbooks, personal writings, photographs and biography he works through a series of drawings before progressing to a final image which he hopes will give you slightly less information than you need.

Tonight:
Join us for the preview of Fiona Watson's Featured Artist show in our ground floor gallery space from 6-8pm.
To whet your appetite, enjoy this short clip of Fiona discussing her work, created for the Love of Print: 50 Years of Glasgow Print Studio.
Ian McNicol has built a strong and trusting relationship with Barbara Rae, having collaborated with her for over 30 years in the making of numerous etchings and carborundum prints.
In this short film, created by James Gibson as part of our 50th Anniversary celebrations, Ian tells us more about the collaborative process. He discusses the process and making of the carborundum 'Night Clouds' which is currently on display as part of the exhibition Barbara Rae: Colour Fields which continues at Glasgow Print Studio until 30 September.
The film explores the relationship between artist and collaborative printer, which is so critical in the development and making of studio publications.

With our 50th Anniversary exhibition, The Love of Print, currently showing in Ayr at Rozelle House and Mckechnie Institute we are sharing some of the short clips that we made with GS workshop members discussing their work featured in the show.
Today we are sharing Alice McMurrough speaking about her etching THE INSOMNIAC'S NIGHTMARE.
"I was the youngest of three children, sent to bed before my sister and brother. Being 5 years old, feeling isolated and scared, my mind would wander into my imagined place. An abiding memory was questioning ‘What am I?’ It was an empty, panicky place. I never discussed these night-time mind explorations. Visiting memories and intertwining observations of life through drawing, painting and printing helps me to make sense of experience."

Here and Now: Damian Henry
With our 50th Anniversary exhibition, The Love of Print, currently showing in Ayr at Rozelle House and Mckechnie Institute we are sharing some of the short clips that we made with GS workshop members discussing their work featured in the show.
First up: Damian Henry discusses his lino print GOLDFINCHES AND BERRIES.
"I wanted to make a joyful picture. I love using the Glasgow Print Studio, and wanted to reflect this in the print. I have a bird feeder outside of my studio window, and I get to see a variety of birds visiting it. It was a great resource to me during lockdown. I invented an imaginary landscape with goldfinches. I hope it will create optimism, which is greatly needed in the world today.”

Lin Chau: Moving Landscapes Until 27th August The works in Moving Landscapes are a direct response to Lin's visual experiences of natural sites in the UK and Scotland, in particular, which she visited due to the pandemic restrictions on international travel. While immersed in the landscapes, she sketched extensively, drawn to the vitality and movement around her. The energy and dynamism of the sea, the changing colour of the sky, and the interplay of light and shadow in the waves and fields are all elements that she tried to capture. As with most of Lin's work, her sketches became her aide-mémoire and were further developed into prints using different printmaking techniques such as etching, monoprint and Chine-collé to convey the sense of a place. #Sea #Ocean #Waves #Printmaking #Etching #Intaglio #Monoprint #Printmaker #seascapes #landscapes
