Create your own magic with Seacourt Print Workshop
|
|
|
|
For those who remember, Anodyne, was the first exhibition we showcased in our office back in 2011. Thanks to the support of Robert Peters, we were able to host several exhibitions of NI artists in the Office such as Northern Ireland Attractions, the Europe exhibition and the History exhibition about the Ulster Hall. We still have a few pieces and we will be happy to showcase them again once we can reopen our doors. In the meantime, Seacourt Print Workshop presents the 2020 International Mini Print Biennial online exhibition with more than 70 artists sending 20x20cm prints from around the world. The work showcases a broad range of techniques including mezzotint, etching, screenprint, collagraph, linocut, cyanotype and photo intaglio to name a few.
