Limerick

Limerick Printmakers will introduce you to some fun and creative ways to get started printmaking at home. In this video prepared by Sorcha Lynch you will learn how to make a collagraph printed robot and how to print your own wrapping paper using vegetables. These activities encourage you to explore shape, texture and colour.  The projects have been designed to work using materials found at home, but suggested items to have to hand include different fruit and veg, paint, markers, tinfoil and of course a creative spirit!

In a special online tour, Limerick Printmakers’ Director Jessica Tobin will guide you through each print in this virtual exhibition. ‘20 Years of Change’ was devised in 2019 to commemorate both studios twentieth anniversaries. The combined project features thirty-four printmakers, with each artist producing an edition of twenty-one prints. This exhibition is currently on show at The Ink Shop and Olive Branch Press, Ithaca, New York and will be exhibited in Ireland in 2021.
