Lawrence Printmaking Club

Lawrence Printmaking Club Open Mondays 10am-2pm and Wednesdays 2-8.30pm

A place for printmakers to make use of a warm, spacious studio in Hove and to have assisted access to three presses, including a 60x100cm roller press and other printmaking equipment.

Our set up at 🖤
This was yesterday before our beginners workshop attendee and four of our regular printmakers arrived for the session.
We run open access sessions for printmakers to use the facilities (can you spot the three presses?) and we also teach one to one beginners linocutting workshops to those that want to learn the process, during these sessions.
We find that one to one teaching provides a richer, less classroom like experience and it’s also always really inspiring for the beginner to see the work that those more experienced are making.
We were busy yesterday but next weds, we have lots of free space. Please do get in touch if you’d like to come along - all info can be found through the link in our bio

Catherine Greenwood will be back with us at Lawrence Art Studio in a couple of weeks, this time teaching ‘Sugar Lift Aquatint’ etching.
Thursday 6th April 10am-4pm £105, including all materials and tuition. Suitable for beginners, or those that are more experienced with etching.
A little bit about the process:
The painterly Sugar Lift technique allows you to paint positive lines on a plate which can then be step etched in different tonal increments.
The ink & sugar solution is fused onto the plate with heat and then coated with a ground and ‘lifted’ off in hot water. The shiny copper plate is revealed with painterly lines appearing in the wax ground; once dried an aquatint is applied and the plate can be etched.
Image is a sugar lift print by Catherine, showing the range of marks you can make through this process.

A selection of beautiful linocut prints by some of our regulars - a perfect illustration of the different marks you can make through this versatile medium.
Top left is by Sam of - when she first pulled this print at the club I told her it reminded me of graphic novel art, and she then told me that it was inspired by a story she has had in her brain for a while but has been struggling to write 🖤
Top right is by - she has been coming to the club for three or four years now and she has gone from being a dabbler to a reduction linocut pro in this time and now shows and sells her work locally - love the colours she has used in this charming domestic scene.
Bottom is by newbie Hannah - just look at those lines...
Can’t believe she’s new to linocutting!
If you’d like to come along to Print Club this week, please get in touch. We’re open tomorrow and Wednesday, all info can be found on the link below 👇
