Talking prints - Jadranka Njegovan
11th May 6 pm
Lecture Theatre One Victoria Building
UCLAN
Jadranka Njegovan studied at the Royal Academy of Visual Arts, The Hague.
She works predominantly with drawing, lithography and photography. She
also writes for several printmaking magazines and periodicals.
Her work plays with the notions of abstract and _gurative. The images in
her lithographs are not directly based on observation of reality but on basic
elements; line and tone. Lines are freely drawn on the lithographic stone
and once they are given a shadow, suddenly become wires, branches or
something lying on a surface. A space is created. An abstract drawing
becomes _gurative
The event is free for UCLAN students, Artlab and Tucan members, 5 charge
applies to anyone alse.

March 2011
During March we were very happy to welcome Georg Gartz to our studios. He spent a week working with us in the screenprinting studios making new works. He was kind enough to give us an evening of his time to share his resulting prints with the members of Artlab contemporary print studios and TUCAN. You can see examples of Georgs work on his website: http://www.georg-gartz.de/

We were extremely pleased to welcome Bren Unwin to our studios on Weds 2nd March.
Brens passion for drawing and printmaking was eloquently conveyed. Bren carefully balanced her talk with explanations about her research theory and how it has dramatically changed her practice over the last few years with a more practical explanation about where she finds her inspiration on a daily level and how she makes her prints.
At the end of the day I just love doodling in the landscape

Oran kindly joined us on 16th February to open this years Talking prints programme. Orans multi-media prints were captivating and although simple in design their precision and quality were staggering.
Oran kindly shared his journey from art college to his present pratice. His relaxed manner and honesty about his projects and work made the evening fly by. Through his work Oran explained how he was able to combine of a variety of processes from different disciplines with digital media. These multi-media pieces had the skill and precision of a master printmaker and all the luminosity of the highest quality digital print.
Orans visit left us all feeling inspired by the potential of combining the digital and traditional mediums when so many artists often see them as different worlds.

Thank you to Justin and to all those artists who attended our two day Lithography masterclass.
Justin spent two days working with us at the print studios at UCLAN in Preston. He shared with us his wonderful prints and his expertise in Lithography.
A great two days but it left us all wanting to know more so hopefully we will see Justin again soon.
