Etching Aquatint
I have an etching aquatint print depicting the Hatworks in the current Turner’s Art Shop Gallery Exhibition at Stockport War Memorial and Art Gallery until 3rd November 2019.
This print depicts the Garrick Theatre which is located just off the A6 in Stockport. I used a different technique this time by first printing a drypoint print with black ink, then I printed a single triple-coloured linocut on top using which gives a painterly finish. I cut out areas of the lino to mark windows and posters on the building.
This evening I attended a very enjoyable entertaining and fascinating history show hosted by historian and tv presenter Dan Snow. Stockport was mentioned in the second half of the show such as the railway viaduct, Stockport’s hat industry, the air raid shelters and the Plaza theatre. The Plaza has an amazing interior.
My stall at the Manchester Print Fair in the Hatworks museum, Stockport went very well yesterday. I sold quite a few prints, cards and bookmarks. Here are some photos of my stall. I even managed to create a screen print.

Here is my latest etching which depicts a Pacer train at Stockport railway station.
While visiting Stockport yesterday, I took the following photos using my smartphone of the Arden Arms pub. I used to visited this lovely pub when I was attending monthly meetings for Stockport Art Guild.
These photos will be the basis of a future print.
