Ochre Print Studio Flyer for the Surrey Artists Open Studios, designed by Geff Newland


Members of Ochre Print Studio took part in the Surrey Artists Open Studios event held at the Lockwood Day Centre in Guildford. Unfortunately, this year I was unable to contribute to the opening event on 18th June, but I know a lot of members worked hard to make it a successful day with a monoprint taster workshop, live music, prizes awarded to prints by several specialist businesses and organisations including: The Printmakers Council (www.printmakerscouncil.com), John Purcell (www.johnpurcell.net) and Intaglio Printmaker (www.intaglioprintmaker.co.uk), a raffle of donated prints and of course, an exhibition of skilful and imaginative work by Ochre members and guest exhibitors such as Simon Lawson (www.simonlawsonprints.com) and Hughie O'Donoghue who will be visiting Ochre in October to give a talk about his work.

Over the two weekends the exhibition was open, Ochre had a healthy number of visitors and sales of work, which was really encouraging and rewarding for all those who took part. I submitted a series of six prints presented in two frames with three prints displayed vertically in each frame. Here is one of the prints in the series.
