Late last year I had the pleasure of traveling from Melbourne to Geelong to met fellow artist/printmaker Anita Iacovella and have a chat with her Visual Arts students about all things printmaking.
Anita is part of a new group show ‘New Ground: Contemporary Printmaking’ at The Town Hall Gallery located at the Hawthorn Arts Centre, 360 Burwood Road, Hawthorn, VIC 3122. The show runs from Tuesday 14 January through to 23 February 2014.
Printmaking as an artform has been around for centuries. While the final result will produce an edition of many works, the lead up to creating the plate and the final works is very labour intensive. The skills learned to create these beautiful prints takes many years and contemporary printmakers are utilising very traditional techniques with new materials and ways of working.

Anita’s work is inspiring. Here is a nice review of Anita’s earlier exhibition held at the Metropolis Gallery in Geelong.
