SouthbankPrintmakers

Beautiful winter days here on London’s South Bank. Our gallery in Gabriel’s Wharf is open every day 11.30-5pm, just up from the OXO Tower, between Blackfriars and Waterloo. Come in from the cold and be greeted by one or our artists and a treasure trove of original prints!

A gorgeous weekend to enjoy a trip to the South Bank and take in Katie Preston’s Artist In Focus display. Katie’s prints create a dreamlike, technicolour version of everyday life, from flowers, trees and paths to bridges, streets and tube stations.

LAST POSTING DATE BEFORE CHRISTMAS IS 18th DECEMBER !!

Although the gallery exhibition has now ended, you can still view and buy this year’s miniprints online. Cool For Cats takes the spotlight this week—a 10×10 cm print packed with the quirks, secrets, and shifting moods of our beloved feline companions

Katie Preston is showing a collection of her multi-layered screenprints of London bridges and stations this December. Her screenprinting practice uses a mix of digital and manual processes – Photoshop, painting and drawing – to create prints with a painterly, lithographic feel.

Above are the other 4 prizes awarded at this year’s miniprint exhibition. These prints and more are available to buy in the Southbank Printmakers online gallery and shop. #miniprint #southbankminiprintshow #printmaking #originalprints.

Mildred Miller explains how she “makes etchings to evoke the feeling of vintage, faded photographs, introducing aquatint into the process to achieve that lovely depth and shaded feeling. I am also drawn to the lovely flat quality that you can get from lino.”
