I’ve been lucky enough to be selected for the Hot Bed Press 20 Year anniversary exhibition.  Held at Warrington Museum and Art Gallery, the exhibition features 20 artists selected from the printmaking studio’s members and runs from now until 16th September 2014.

Four of my screenprints were chosen to be part of the exhibition, including one that I’ve just completed.  In the same style as my previous urban sketch screenprints but much larger, it shows the view from the top of Shudehill Car Park (see my earlier rant about views from car parks here).  As I use paper stencils to get the background colours, printing this caused all sorts of problems due to the stencil warping and stretching over such a large area.  However, I didn’t want to use photo screens for all parts of the artwork as it creates a final image that’s too perfect for me.

I was really pleased with the final piece especially once framed by the lovely and helpful ‘In the Picture Framing‘, who have just opened up in Woodend Mill in Mossley, where I have my studio.
