Talking Prints
From January 2009 Artlab in collaboration with Lancashire Artists Network developed programme of talks and events by master printmakers
held at ArtLab sessions. The project was to address issues concerning contemporary printmakers, discussing current research as well as new
developments in technologies and professional studio practice. Each Artist bought with them different approaches to their research discussing
how they disseminate their artwork to their audiences. The talks were held in a lecture theatre and followed by a more informal presentation in
the printmaking studios of actual examples of work by the artist.
The artist who took part in the series were:
Jason Hicklin, Sarah Ogilvie, Paul Thirkell, Stephen Hoskins, Pete Clarke, Lubaina Himid and Sean Rouke
