International Mini Print Exhibition 2019

Wingfield Barns is delighted to host this prestigious exhibition that draws a large number of visitors and collectors every year who are keen to buy original prints at affordable prices and to see over 650 prints from fifty countries worldwide. The limited edition prints cover all the traditional printmaking disciplines from etching, lithography, screenprinting, monotypes and mixed media prints to the more experimental digital techniques, all working to a maximum of scale of 10 cm square.

The Exhibition has been running annually since 1995 and will be curated by Ian Chance, course director for the MA Creative Entrepreneurship course at the University of East Anglia. It will also tour in L’Etangd’Art Gallery in Bages, France, Pineda de Mar and Cadaqués, Spain and is the largest and most popular running exhibition of mini prints in the world. Wingfield Barns is the only gallery in the UK to host this exhibition.

The private view for the exhibition is open to the public from 6-8pm on Thursday 11th July in Gallery 2.

Maria is trained teacher of Art and Design who has developed her own style of artwork using shape, texture and colours found in natural forms. She experiments with various media for effect, using hand-made paper, fabric, heavy impasto gels or pastes.

Monotype Printmaking Workshop

Would you like to make your own Mini Print? Come and join Sally Hirst on a printmaking course here at Wingfield Barns.
 
This is a very painterly way of printmaking; rolling on layers of paint and creating lines and textures through wiping, brushing, masking and stenciling. We will be using Gelli© plates that are designed to release the paint on contact with the paper. Each piece of paper will return to the plate a number of times building layers of colour and texture. Suitable for both beginners and those with some experience. The workshop fee includes all tools and materials, you just need to bring an apron or old shirt to protect your clothing.
 
Thursday 1st August, 10.00 to 12.30
Refreshments provided.
