Printing Piper

A dedicated bunch of artists spent the Easter weekend in the Whitworth Art Gallery, producing a copious body of prints ranging from dry points and mono prints to collographs. Using the work of John Piper as inspiration some rich inky dry points and mono prints were produced and vivid sensual collographs. Enough work was produced by the group to hold their own exhibition.
