ALL INKED UP!

ALL INKED UP! We are delighted to present our exhibit of finely crafted prints from Elephant Grass Printmakers Society illustrating the art of creative printmaking. With linocut, woodcut, etching, papercutting, collage, paper folding, monoprinting, tetrapak, cyanotype and letterpress processes, EGPS members explore the tradition of making artworks on paper and cloth the slow way, by hand, sweat and imagination.

The exhibit runs Sept 1- Oct 15 at Sissiboo Cafe and Gallery in Bear River, NS, until it moves to theSissiboo Cafe in Annapolis Royal, Oct. 16- Nov 30.

A few sneak peeks of the diversity of print techniques employed by our members. The images are only a small selection of what is in the show and really doesn’t do justice to seeing the prints in person. If you can visit, it is so much more satisfying.

Members showing in ALL INKED UP! are Janel, Warmington, Shela Breau, Lorna Mulligan, Katie Prescott, Charlott Zimmermann, Constance Whittaker, Bonnie Baker, Eva MacCauley, Micheline Gushue and Julie Rosvall.

Worldwide Print Day in May Celebration!

May 4, 2024 is a day where Printmakers all over the world celebrate the fine art of printmaking and letterpress through group or individual print related activities which we then share on our social media.

At our monthly Print Circle, EGPS members will be joining in with demos, chat and posting from 1-4pm. What is a Print Circle? PC’s are casual gatherings of EGPS members, friend and anyone interested in sharing resources, and information about fine art printmaking and letterpress, held once a month at EGPS studio, 240 St George Str, 2nd floor, Annapolis Royal.

There is no agenda or scheduled program except it is a time to come together, show each other what we are creating, whether it is work in progess or finished prints, ask questions or get inspired talking shop

Everyone is welcome from the experienced to the aspiring novice. If you love the smell of ink and don’t mind getting a little messy, you may be a budding printmaker. Why not come by and check us out?
