PRINTMAKING STUDIO
As part of
Ikon’s exhibition Start the Press! (9 February – 21 April 2024), eight West
Midlands printmakers present a Printmaking Studio.
The
printmakers operate an antique, working flatbed printing press from
Wolverhampton School of Art: establishing a functioning printmaking workshop,
producing original prints and filling the gallery walls as artwork is made in
real time. Regional printmakers: Taiba Akhtar, Haseebah Ali, Simon Harris, Fae
Kilburn, Karen McLean, Laura Onions, Satinder Parhar and Heather Peak.
This
exhibition is supported by Freelands Foundation, Jerwood Foundation, The
Saintbury Trust, University of Birmingham and University of Wolverhampton.
