Barbara
Robertson, Lino-cut workshops, Gardner Memorial Church Hall,
10:00-15:00 Thursdays 20 and 27
September
Trained at
Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Barbara Robertson has prints in public
collections throughout the
UK and in
private collections across the world. The numerous books she has illustrated
include Sea-Green Ribbons and The Oath Takers by Naomi Mitchison. Her
images are striking and often witty and are printed from blocks of linoleum
using the reduction technique. Although it can take three to four weeks to
complete a print you can enjoy an introduction to the basics of lino-cuts at
these workshops. An exhibition of Barbara’s work will be housed for the duration
of BAF 2007 in the Gardner Memorial Church Hall.
