On Friday the Southern Printmakers Association was very lucky to have Printmaker, Painter, Musican and Writer Gary Makin deliver an excellent demonstration on Waterless Lithography.

16 of our members were present for the eye opening perspective on printmaking and how with the use of some household items and inspiration many different possibilities on creating an image can be achieved.

Photos relate to examples that Dior brought in for the Lyrical theme for the Hazelhurst Exhibition in 2015.

Dior showed us a couple of examples of prints she made using a 12 inch record.  Basically, we agreed that the format size of the paper we print on should be the record cover size to keep the uniformity for the group work. The material that the record is made i.e. cardboard cover, plastic/paper sleeve can be used to create any art work i.e. relief, intaglio and/or collage.  Even breaking the record into pieces and printing the pieces.

The records she used were not valuable, less than $2 from op shop.  NB vinyl is popular again, some popular original titles are very rare and expensive – no need to use your precious collections as the op shops stock them.

We spoke about the post card exchange 1 April 2014, reminder than the edition needs to be either 11 or 12 if you want to keep a copy – info online.

We had a good turnout, about 10 people showed up, all very excited and enthusiastic to share our ideas.

I’ve been doing lots of research about our theme, music, notation and lyrical. And there is so much to see and read. Putting some info together in a folder, will bring it to the next meeting if anyone is interested in having a look or discussing ideas. Depending on the venue to show this work there could be possibilities for large 3D pieces as a break away from on the wall. Maybe even collaborative works!! As a separate idea is there a chance of working with another print group perhaps in NZ. I was inspired by Pentimenti Prints which “overturned the custom of traditional print exchanges where artists are required to produce a set of identical images (an edition). Instead the project places the notion of variation at the centre of each artist’s visual investigation. By reworking a single idea and image, participating artists are invited to produce a variable, reference: edition”.http://pentimentiprints.wordpress.com/artists-2/ Not using the Pentimenti theme but a new one developed by Southernprintmakers and showing the combined works in NZ and here??? Any thoughts. -this just came to me as I had been at this print studio last year in NZ, lovely area of North Shore Auckland. http://www.lakehousearts.org.nz/photogallery/tenant-artists/studio-printmakers http://www.lakehousearts.org.nz Sue.
