Contemporary artists wanted to explore printmaking
An opportunity has been created for contemporary artists to explore how printmaking can extend and evolve their practice.
Double Elephant Print Workshop (DEPW) is keen to reach out to contemporary artists and are particularly interested to encourage crossover between different practices. They are looking for artists with a genuine curiosity about printmaking, but have not included it so far as part of their practice. The organisers are not looking for artists who already use printmaking.
Over six evenings, the selected artists will work at DEPW to experiment and create with different processes. You are welcome to offer specific proposals for how you'd like to use the time. DEPW will advise on what is possible with the facilities and resources available.
There are four places available and there will be a 1:2 ratio of tutor to artist.
Dates: Tuesday evenings, 8th / 15th / 22nd / 29th January and 12th / 19th Feb 2013, from 6-9pm at Double Elephant Print Workshop, Exeter.
The Bursary covers the cost of using Double Elephant Print Workshop facilities with the support of two tutors during the 6 evening sessions.
To apply for a place you should forward the following details to catherine@doubleelephant.org.uk by Monday 3rd December:
- Statement of how this opportunity will benefit you and your practice with a proposal for your intended activity (max.800 words)
