Fantastic day with @simonlawsonprints . Received a brilliant refresher on techniques I haven't used in many years and developed new skills and lots of knowledge throughout the day. Thoroughly enjoyed this one day course and hope to return in the future. #etchingcourse #intaglioprintmaking #copperplateetching

Great morning proofing some restrikes of 1920s etchings by Mary Headlam (1873-1959) with the AMAZING @simonlawsonprints . The impressions are for the family of the artist before the plates (hopefully!) go off to the @vamuseum with the rest of a generous gift… If you missed our exhibition ‘MARY HEADLAM (1873-1959) An Artist Rediscovered’, head to the Past Exhibitions section of our website … #printmaking #etching #womenartists

Watch master printer Simon Lawson bring Megascops Stangiae to life — a new limited edition etching by Sarah Ball, releasing this Thursday!⁠ ⁠ Each print has been hand-pulled with precision and care, transforming Sarah’s delicate image of a Xingu screech owl into a powerful reflection on fragility, resilience, and the planet’s endangered wildlife.⁠ ⁠ Printed in an edition of 50, this work will support the work of Migrate Art and our network of non-profit collaborators. To date, Migrate Art has raised over £2 million for our charitable partners around the world.⁠ ⁠ @sarah_ball_artist @simonlawsonprints @stephenfriedmangallery #SarahBall #StephenFriedmanGallery #StephenFriedman #FromTheAshes #MigrateArt #Printmaking #Etching #LimitedEdition #ContemporaryArt #EnvironmentalArt

A lot going on on the 7th and 8th of June for the Thames-Side Studios Open Weekend. I will be showing Urban Archaeology, a film generated from images originally produced as etchings. This will be shown with a live improvised score performed on saxophones. There will be a performance at 2pm in my studio TB-011 which is in the Atrium which can be found immediately on the left as you enter the site. I have also curated an exhibition in the Viewing Room which is almost next door to my studio. Take Five, an exhibition of printmakers based at Thames-Side who are opening their studios to the public over the weekend. Desmond Healy Radek Husak Irena Krizman Simon Lawson Sisetta Zappone Each of the artists showing uses print as a starting point. Whether via monoprint or intaglio the ambition to push the image and the fascination with process takes them on a path of discovery, searching for something more. Every piece is an opportunity to question the process, subvert it or approach it from another direction. Pushing and pulling the image, combining it with other mediums, welcoming the unknown and celebrating the happy accident. Some images, perhaps setting out with the intention of an edition, often result in unique stand-alone pieces. Some of these are on show in the Viewing Room. Over the weekend of the Woolwich Annual Open Studios 2025 the artists will be opening their studios to give visitors the opportunity to see behind the studio door, an insight into their practice. An opportunity to meet the artist, find out more about the way they work as well as to view and purchase their work directly. The Woolwich Open is an exhibition of artists across the site who are opening their studios, showing in the main gallery from the 6th-15th June 2025. @thamessidestudiosse18 #thamessidestudios #etching #photopolymeretching #learntoetch #etchingcourses #contemporaryprintmaking #photoetching #cmyk #contemporaryprint #hardground #softground #sugarlift #spitbite #drypoint #blindemboss #roulettewheel #etchingstudio #printmakingstudio #architecture #architecturaldrawing #contemporaryprint #contemporaryprintmaking #chinecolle
