‘Lois Hopwood. Landscapes.’ is a brand new exhibiton by artist Lois Hopwood and will open on Friday 19th April.
The gallery will be open every Saturday and Sunday (and bank holidays) 11am – 5pm.
Lois Hopwood, based in Knucklas, uses drawing, painting, sculpture and film to develop ideas that are a direct response to the place in which she lives and the landscape she occupies and through which she passes daily. Working with the contours of the landscape, the transformed fauna, the vernacular architecture, the often overlooked industrialization of the landscape, and in collaboration with local children, Hopwood has developed a way of working with the space, materiality and history of landscape of that places her within similar traditions to British artists as diverse as the filmmaker Michael Powell and the musician Kate Bush. Lois is part of Castle Hill Arts alongside Tony Hall and Tony Collier.

On this workshop you will spend the morning working on your drawings and designs, we will teach you how to create your own unique design before we analysing your image and then selecting a printmaking method that suits your design. You will have the choice to take your drawing into either a lino print, a block print or a dry point etching.
Lino printing is a relief printmaking method where tools are used to carve into the surface to lino, block printing is another relief printmaking process but with this technique foam is used to build up the design onto wooden block. Drypoint is an intaglio process where a sharp point in used to scratch into a printing plate to create the image (traditionally copper plates were used but we will use acrylic which is a softer material to etch into)
Once you drawings have been successfully transferred to the printing block you will have the chance to practice printing your design on paper, and learn about the different techniques, experiment with colours and play with different types of pattern repeats. Once happy with a design, use our printing press, you will to transfer your design onto paper to create a fine art print, or onto fabric
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or the more experienced, this workshop requires a minimum of 6 hours to achieve a good quality print. The cost of the workshop includes all tools and materials, tea/coffee and cake plus free parking.

In this workshop you will learn about how to develop a design or image into a piece of Batik.
Batik is both an art and a craft, which is becoming more popular and well known in the West as a wonderfully creative medium. The art of decorating cloth in this way, using wax and dye, has been practised for centuries. In Java, Indonesia, batik is part of an ancient tradition, and some of the finest batik cloth in the world is still made there. The word batik originates from the Javanese tik and means to dot.
To make a batik on this one day workshop, you will draw out a design of your choice onto plain fabric, and then block out areas of this by applying hot wax using a tjanting tool or brush. Then you will paint colours into the design using brightly coloured batik inks. Once completed you will then iron out the wax to complete the work.
The workshop will be led by experienced ArtShack textile artists Dr. Jack Roberts and Maggie Allmark.
Cost £55 to include all materials, tea coffee and cake.
