Ā Introduction to Printmaking Workshops 2022
A series of 4 workshops with Ulverston based printmaking group Print Share. Each workshop will introduce you to a different printmaking technique, taught by members of our collaborative printmaking group, in a friendly relaxed environment. You can choose to do a single or multiple workshops, or the whole course.
Ā Saturday 14th Mayā Linocut with Claudia Long
Linocut is a relief printmaking technique where a design is cut into a linoleum surface with sharp knives, chisels and gouges. Youāll have the opportunity to create and transfer a design, cut and ink your plate to create a series of prints. You can also experiment with Chine CollĆ©, learning how to use fine papers to bring colour and texture into your prints.
Ā Saturday 21st Mayā Monoprint with Marett Troostwyck
Monoprinting is a lovely painterly technique that creates unique prints. Itās a good way to create prints expressively and spontaneously. Youāll have the opportunity to experiment with imagery, mark making, colour, tone and texture using a variety of methods and materials including natural and manufactured textured materials and the use of stencils.
Ā Saturday 28th May – Drypoint with Vicky Peake
Drypoint is an intaglio printmaking technique where an image is incised into a plate using sharp metal āneedleā tools. Itās an expressive printmaking technique which is close to drawing in its immediacy and responsiveness. Youāll learn how to create a plate, ink and clean your plate, soak paper and make a series of prints. Youāll explore drawing or design transfer, mark making, colour and tone and learn how inexpensive materials can be used to make amazing prints.
Ā Saturday 4th Juneā Paper Lithography with Anna Litchfield
Paper Lithography is a great way to make monoprints using paper as a plate and Gum Arabic as a resist. Itās based on lithographic techniques and uses high contrast photocopies or drawings in oil based inks to create unique prints. You can use your own photographs or copies of images from papers and magazines can be collaged to create interesting printsā a modern take on a traditional technique.

Anthony Hewitt & Friends
1 June @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
TheĀ opening concert of this year’s Ulverston International Music Festival immediately sets the tone of the festivalĀ with two great British chamber works at the heart of the programme, written only a few years apart at the turn of the 20th century. Bridge was made famous by his pupil Benjamin Britten, who gave the quartet a glowing review: “Sonorous yet lucid, with clear lines, graceful to listen to and playā¦.Brahms happily tempered with Faure”. Brahmsā influence is also clear in Vaughan Williams Piano Quintet (which uses the same combination of instruments as Schubertās Trout, performed in the 2021 festival). Rich textures are in abundance and highly emotive melodies are characteristic of the composer, but an ever present narrative sees plenty of shifts to lighter moods, with pastoral interludes evoking English landscapes and country life.Ā
Dvorakās F minor Piano Trio is āsandwichedā in-between, but only in the sense of its position in the programme as it is a substantial work of over forty minutes. More serious than its famous cousin ā the Dumky Trio ā it is yet more profound and captivating for its touching, melancholic themes, dramatic episodes and lively rhythms.Ā Ā
Vaughan Williamsā music is being championed around the UK for the 150th anniversary of the composerās birth, and forms part of A Lakeland Journey – a Cumbria-wide celebration of his music curated by Lake District Summer Music.
Programme
Frank BridgeĀ Fantasy Piano Quartet, H.94
Antonin DvoÅĆ”k Piano Trio in F minor
Ralph Vaughan Williams Piano Quintet
UIMF disclaimer: Artists or programme can be subject to change, and where a headline performer with top billing cancels, we will endeavour to find a like-for-like replacement. Refunds will only be offered in the event of the concert itself being cancelled.
