Feeling very privileged and honoured to have won the Flourish
Award For Excellence in Printmaking.
FLOURISH 2014:
Award for Excellence in Printmaking
Saturday
27 September – 15 November 2014
We are pleased to announce the
details of our annual Flourish exhibition, which showcases excellence in
printmaking. Now in its sixth year, having been established in 2009 to champion
printmakers working across the county, a new Flourish Printmaker of the Year
must be chosen for 2014.
The Flourish group show, opening
on 27 September, brings together a wide range of prints made by artists in the
running for this year’s award, as selected by our independent panel of judges.
Fine art printmakers June Russell and Ian Rawlinson, along with Huddersfield
Art Gallery’s Grant Scanlan and Hot Bed Press’ Sean Rorke, have carefully
considered all artworks entered from all over the county to come up with this
fantastic shortlist. Included will be linocuts, screen prints, etchings,
drypoints, collagraphs and monoprints.
The Flourish Printmaker of the
Year 2014 will be announced at our private view and OPEN event on Friday 10
October. For more information about the event, please see below.
The winner of the Flourish Award
will receive a year’s free membership at West Yorkshire Print Workshop –
including 100 free printmaking hours – as well as a solo print exhibition at
