Printmakers are participating in a "Chinese Whisters" exercise, creating works in response to a selected object or another's print... the exhibition will show the transformational thread.
A collaboration between Capricornia Printmakers and Rockhampton Photography Club
An annual global celebration of printmaking taking place on the first Saturday in May each year. See our Archives for previous activities.
Our printmakers opened our Studio and joined the world wide activities for International Print Day in May, exploring CYANOTYPE methods. We had demonstrations and printing from 10am to 2pm. Unfortunately cloudy skies and light rain meant the scheduled group cyanotype activity with community participation could not occur... maybe later in the year!
Members continued with a portion of the PDIM activity at the May Studio Day, 25 May 2025. We didn't get a picture of the group exposing the sheet outdoors but our hands and other items are visible in the large cloth print.
A Popup Exhibition of artist's books and related workshop delayed from 2024 due to a Gallery double-booking. Invitation to exhibit [Updated 13 Dec 2024].
Funding from Regional Arts Development Fund and Rockhampton Regional Council. Workshop photos above.
Relief Printing: Lino Block Printing with Niloufar Lovegrove, Saturdays 2 and 9 November.
Intaglio Printing: Scratch Cut and Peel with Peta Lloyd, Saturday 23 November.
Mono Printing: Mono and Monotype with Gimara Duncan Rice, Sunday 1 December.
Exhibition opened Friday 4 October from 5:30pm and continued until Sunday 13 October. Each artist’s work responded to two unique words that had been chosen by/for them at random from two word banks generated by members late 2023. It was up to each artist how they interpreted their words and the form of their response. Sponsored by Dee Muir Design. Expression of Interest | A4 Poster | Exhibition Catalogue.
Twenty Capricornia Printmakers members participated in RMOA's 2023 Artist in Residence program responding to 17 items from the RMOA collection (prints, paintings, ceramics, etc.) for a 2024 exhibition.
"The Margaret Olley Art Trust Collection Study Room is designed to increase access to the Rockhampton Museum of Art's nationally significant collection. ... RMOA also hosts artist residencies in the Margaret Olley Art Trust Collection Study Room to facilitate creative responses to the collection."
