Hatter Editions

📷 Exhibition Announcement Farewell For Now by @lewis_d_oldham 🗓️ Launch 31st July- Runs until 7th August 📍 @pinkmcr_ , Ground Floor, Hilton House, Lord Street, Stockport After over a decade of documenting Stockport through both digital and analogue photography, Lewis David Oldham presents Farewell For Now, a visual pause and reflection on a town in flux. This exhibition marks a shift in Lewis’ creative practice, closing one chapter while opening space for new ways of seeing and being. Through family history, lost archives found, and quiet observation, the work contemplates the transformation of Stockport over decades — from echoes of his great-grandfather’s time during 1960s/70s regeneration, to the sweeping changes of today. The work invites you to consider the questions of change and regeneration. Audiences can expect echoes of the New Topographics, a deep engagement with space, and a sense of farewell laced with curiosity for what comes next. Exhibition supported by @hattereditions & hosted by@pinkmcr_ #FarewellForNow #LewisDavidOldham #StockportPhotography #UrbanChange #PhotoExhibition #NewTopographics #DocumentaryPhotography #ContemporaryPhotography

As always… massive pleasure having @mariopopham in the studio for some unique signing of edition work. Prints on @awagami_factory bamboo washi ready to go to their new homes. Mario found this unique stamp on the mantlepiece of his Japanese mum @junkoikebana last year. She revealed that it was made by her potter Japanese friend when Mario was a child, in a way anticipating the day when it would be used to mark his print.

I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on & celebrate an incredible journey I’ve been on the last few months… @hattereditions is a photographer led print making studio that specialises in helping photographic practitioners and artists print their work for exhibtion, portfolios and editions. The owner and the person who prints your work (and is writing this, so will go into first person from here on out) is @lewis_d_oldham … I have recently had the absolute privilege to work along side 19 amazing artists as part of East Meets West masterclass programme. East Meets West is an initiative led by @grain_projects @formatfestival @derbyquad that supports emerging practitioners through a series of focused discussions with industry leaders helping drive their practice forward. This accumulated in an exhibition at Format Festival @eastmeetswestexhibition which I printed 16 of the cohorts works this was an absolute privilege, working with great photography is just a boon of the job. The real sponsorship credit goes to @hahnemuehle_uk they sponsored a roll of Bamboo Baryta Gloss. This is a sustainable paper stock that has a visual texture, warm base, understated gloss and supreme gamut. It hit the mark whether it was portraits, landscapes, still life- what ever was offered to this paper it handled it beautifully & the end results were always visually tactile and immaculate. Furthermore the paper is physically robust and archival, making it prefect for editions. I think I’ve found my new favourite paper stock, definitely the stock I want to present my current WIP on, and as Hatter Editions we will definitely be stocking it going forward.

This print is part of his ongoing body of work ‘Convolutions’ which is an introspective investigation of his place in the universe through the looking glass of recent health issues and the ebbs & flows they have presented during the non-linear & ongoing journey of recovery. #archival #archivalprint #printmaking #awagami #washi #washipaper #heron #investigation #observation #pigment #recovery #journey #photography
