Little Prints
Little Prints, is an exhibition that invites you to explore diverse viewpoints and techniques within the captivating realm of compact and affordable printmaking.
Delight in the fusion of creativity and precision as each piece, whether it is an aquatint, collagraph, drypoint, etching, linocut, lithograph, monoprint or screenprint shows the unique perspective of each artist.
Little Prints, is a testament to the variety of approaches and skilful execution found in small-scale prints, demonstrating that art's impact transcends size. The exhibition will celebrate the myriad ways in which artists can express their visions within limited dimensions, offering a fascinating journey into the rich tapestry of perspectives and techniques in the world of printmaking.
Richmond Printmakers is a co-operative of artists based in and around Richmond-upon-Thames, working independently and coming together to show their work.
Small is beautiful.

Ink + Paper = will show some of the many ways artists combine paper and ink to create an image including: aquatints, collagraphs, drypoints, etchings, linocuts, lithographs, monoprints and screen prints.
The art of printmaking can create striking and expressive images with strong colour and bold design, or more intricate and nuanced effects, achieving a high degree of sensitivity.
All the prints on display will offer a glimpse into the possibilities of printmaking; from simplicity and directness to delicacy and detail.
The subject-matter in the exhibition reflects the interests and preoccupations of the different artists, from landscape and figurative pieces to completely abstract works.
During the exhibition members of the Richmond Printmakers will be on hand in the gallery to demonstrate some of their processes and answer visitor’s questions.
