We invite you to join us at the All Saints Heritage Centre for a special exhibition by the West Ink Society of Artist Printmakers. Explore a collection of fine art prints and meet the artists behind the works.
West Ink Society of Artist Printmakers hail from a diverse range of backgrounds. Each artist explores their own topic of interest, bringing a unique voice to their collective shows. Conceptual works bring focus to and capture expressions that linger beneath the surface of humanity and stand in contrast to the surface imagery of landscape and portrait. The artists exhibiting in this show are Bruce Kenton Mathieson, Breda Burns, Prof. V. R. Gibbons, Benita Stoney, Caroline Masterson, Áine Gallagher, Claire Griffin, Michelle Healy, Owen Piffaretti, Susie Quinn and Sinead Wall.
From abstract to realistic depictions, each print offers a unique perspective and story. Opportunities to acquire original artworks directly from the artists.

All Saints Heritage Centre is delighted to host a diversity of fine art printmaking at Clónna, an exhibition by the artists of West Ink Society of Artist Printmakers. Meet the artists and learn about the ancient art of printmaking: a series of processes that are followed sequentially to create the finished piece. Discover how each print is preceded by the making of a plate: the carving of wood, the bite of acid on metal, the cutting of lino, the burnishing of a mezzo plate. With the plate prepared the artist brings the image forth by combining materials and pressure, each print honouring the craft that underpins it. Discover the fine art prints (clónna) exhibited by artists Bruce Kenton Mathieson, Breda Burns, Prof. V. R. Gibbons, Benita Stoney, Caroline Masterson, Áine Gallagher, Claire Griffin, Michelle Healy, Owen Piffaretti, Susie Quinn and Sinead Wall.
