A group of printmakers are bringing their colourful work to Stuart House in Liskeard this July. They are staging an end of year show of their work, having completed the level 3 Printmaking Course at Laity House run by Cornwall Adult Education.

The exhibition is titled Pryntyr (Cornish for printing) and will showcase a wide variety of printmaking techniques, including screen printing, lino printing, collagraph and paper litho.

There will be the opportunity to view all the work, including installations designed especially for the space, and to buy framed and unframed prints and cards.

The nine print artists are Rachel Brooks, Bill Craggs, Emma Earnshaw, Lia Eden Lane, Paul Mockford, Carol Pollard, Francine Read, Carol Reeder and Sue Webster. They are holding a ‘meet the artist’ session at the exhibition on Thursday 9th July from 12-2pm which everyone is warmly invited to attend.

The exhibition as a whole runs from Monday 6th to Friday 10th July from 10am-3pm (closed Wednesday) and Saturday 11th July 10am-12.30pm.
