Print Six return to Sprout and we are now plus one!  Print Six + brings together seven local artist-printmakers who met at Putney School of Art and Design.  We use screen print as a method to create surprisingly different styles and genres; from the boldly graphic to delicate one-offs, from mono-print to colourful animal prints, from intricate pattern to works that take their starting point in nature, all our prints are original artworks produced by hand.

 

Participating Artists:

Sarah Acland trained as a geologist, graduating from the University of Cambridge with a first class honours in Geological Sciences and has a PhD from University of Durham in geochemistry. She has over the last 25 years done many art and design short courses in a variety of media including calligraphy, fine art, textiles, paper-making, photography and most recently screen-printing at Putney School of Art and Design.

Before concentrating on her art and bringing up a young family, she worked as an editor at the Mineralogical Society and at the charity RADAR. She has exhibited her work locally with the Friday Group. Sarah’s work is often inspired by her travels as a geologist or from her hobbies such as mineral collecting, fashion, or gardening. Her approach to art is experimental and although much of her work is screen-prints, she enjoys producing small-scale mixed media installations and has produced several collections of jewellery.

Cath Lloyd studied surface pattern design at university, which led to a lifelong interest in the interaction of pattern & colour. She introduces pattern into many of her prints, from simple doodles to texture and typography. An interest in icons and bold graphical imagery also plays a part in much of her work. A playful sense of humour is present in many of her pieces, either in the work itself or in the associated title. Cath is also available for commissions for specific requests.

 

Andrea Robinson works with printmaking, text, installation, performance and poetry. She is a founder member of print collective The Friday Group, gallery artist at Water Street Gallery and a member of the Printmakers Council and Southbank Printmakers. Andrea’s prints and artist books are held in private and public collections and archives,including Scarborough Museum, Chelsea College of Art, The British Library, Tate Britain, and the V&A, and online for Art UK which showcases artworks from the UK’s public collections. Her work has been exhibited at venues throughout the UK and internationally, including Protocol for Frieze Art Week, and as a selected artist for Red Dot Mini Print touring exhibition and Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 2018 and 2019.

Madeline Meckiffe spent many years working in graphic design illustrating book covers for adults and children; five years ago she decided to further her creative talents by taking up screen printing - now she's running her own print studio. Through this medium she has designed and made numerous products from cards and prints and is currently working on her animal alphabet.

Madeline still takes inspiration from the literary tales she encountered in her life in publishing; her unique style blends illustration and graphics to create beautiful products bringing charm and playfulness to the home.

Julie Sullock studied Fine Art at St. Martin's School of Art and then completed an MA in Printmaking at Brighton Polytechnic. Her abstract work is inspired by London buildings, gardens and the colours of the reflections in the city and brake lights in the rain. She enjoys combining different printing mediums such as Screen and Etching which produce different qualities. Her work is concerned with colour, composition and mood. She has recently exhibited prints at Bankside Gallery and the Mall Galleries. Julie is a member of The Printmakers Council and Southbank Printmakers, an artist run gallery in Gabriel's Wharf, where more of her work can be viewed.

Eva Ohman-Bass worked as a primary school teacher for most of her working life and took up screen printing when she retired. She has been a member of the Putney School of Art and Design for the last ten years.

Eva takes her inspiration from her native country Sweden as well as her extensive travels around the world. She really enjoys using all the different techniques that can be explored in the screen printing process. She uses her own photographs and drawings as well as newspaper cuttings and found paper as her material, playing with colours and images to creating layers of colour in her prints.

She is a keen member of The Friday Group, exhibiting in various places in London.
