Meet the Art Wall artists: Warringah Printmakers’ Studio
Event description
To celebrate 25 years of Warringah Printmakers’ Studio, MAG&M’s external Art Wall features works by three of its members; Kate Lovejoy Furnell (Hydrographic), Libby Bassett (The Swimmer) and Tim Denmead (Lawn Chair Life). Come and meet the artists and learn about their ideas and processes, and the story of the studio.
The Studio has been integral to the cultural life of the Northern Beaches over the past twenty-five years since its incorporation. In recent years, the Studio has participated in the Creative Open program, and held its annual members’ show at Curl Curl Creative Space.
MAG&M presented its work Natural Collection (2018), which featured the work of twenty-nine Studio artists, prints from the pages of its collaborative artists’ book, Natural Collection. The project was initiated by the Studio as a response to their concerns about the loss of bushland in the local area which impacts on the habitats of our local species.
Warringah Printmakers Studio is a community based, not-for-profit organisation entirely run by volunteers. Safer printmaking practice is promoted and members have access to a variety of innovative classes, workshops, studio facilities and exhibitions.
