Print! In Praise of Printmakers

Saturday February 8th 2025 – Thursday April 3rd 2025

We look forward to be showcasing four talented printmakers and their very different styles. A variety of mounted and framed prints will be available to purchase as well as smaller pieces and cards.

Adele Burdon

Taking inspiration from the contours of the local landscapes, Adele enjoys exploring the endless possibilities of mono printing. Starting with a clean steel plate then adding ink  and working the surface to create an image, adding texture with found objects , plant life, fabrics etc and extending the image over the edge of the plates reflecting the unrestricted landscape. It is the essence of the landscape that I want to express, not realistic accuracy. This process gives endless opportunities for experimentation and unexpected and surprising results are often a bonus, helping to create an atmospheric, unique and one off print.

Diana Fitzpatrick

Diana FitzPatrick is a Printmaker working from her studio here at Gallery45. She produces Monoprints designed around her favourite ceramics incorporating seedheads and foliage picked from the Northumbrian countryside.
Diana runs workshops in Monoprint, Linoprint, Drypoint Etching, and Embossing from her studio.
 
Kate Miller

Kate is a printmaker working in linocut, making layered reduction prints in many colours. Her inspiration comes from being outside walking, looking and sketching, in Newcastle and Northumberland. Although based in a city, she is surrounded by beautiful countryside, long sandy beaches, rolling hills and historic castles, so there is no end of inspiration to hand. Sometimes focussing on smaller details, such as seedheads, pebbles, waves or rock pools, and at other times capturing a wide view or scene in a layered linocut, there’ll always be a nod to nature and its beauty and intricacy. Her work also celebrates colour, which is sometimes exaggerated, conveying a feeling experienced in a place. 

Cath Hodson

Cath Hodson is a Print Maker from Whitley Bay.   Her love of colour is reflected in her bright, bold hand-screen printed art works.  She creates her Screen Prints using a combination of drawing, paper cutting and layering colour.
