This diverse variety of orig inal screenprints\, etchings\, relief prints\, monoprints\, and collagraph s give an insight into why more and more artists are turning to printmakin g. The subject matter and styles range from interpretations of landscapes to figurative work and onto more abstract and ethereal responses to colour and composition. The nature of the methods of printmaking used by each ar tist can influence the development of their works as the interaction and r elationship to materials\, chemicals\, inks and papers take their place in the creative thought and decision making process. The passion for print s oon takes hold.\n\nAbout the Hot Bed Press\n\nHot Bed Press is now one of the largest open access print studios in the UK. In early 2017\, supported by a grant from Arts Council England\, they were successful in purchasing the large Victorian warehouse building they have made their home since 20 06. Set amongst the newly sprawling metropolis joining Salford with Manche ster for an independent not-for-profit organisation to now own and manage a building of this size to grow into and flourish in is a huge statement.\ n\n“We can now go on to achieve some of our more ambitious plans. Since buying the building we have more than doubled the workspace making it ligh ter and brighter. We have created new studios\, and brought in more screen printing\, etching and letterpress equipment and the place is abuzz with a rtists every day. The printmaking happening here has also already grown in confidence and ambition as a result and we are seeing more and more artis ts going on to greater things the more we grow. We are now starting to pla n towards the bigger development of a 30\,000sq ft centre for printmaking as we aim to take on the whole building within the next few years. By 2020 Hot Bed Press will be world class and help support and develop printmakin g on a national and global level.” – Sean Rorke\, Artistic Director ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2017/10/hot-bed-press-warrington.jpg LOCATION:Warrington Museum & Art Gallery\, Bold Street\, Warrington\, WA1 1 DR\, Warrington\, United Kingdom GEO:53.38857;-2.596091 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bold Street\, Warrington\, WA1 1DR\, Warrington\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Warringto n Museum & Art Gallery:geo:53.38857,-2.596091 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20171029T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
