Variations on a Theme

RICHMOND PRINTMAKERS
Wednesday 4 to Sunday 15 September 2024
10am - 4pm
Admission Free

Meet and Greet the artists, with refreshments, on Saturday 7 September 3 - 5pm.

Variations on a Theme is an exhibition that invites you to explore the rich diversity of artistic expression through a shared motif. Each piece in this collection, whether an aquatint, collagraph, drypoint, etching, linocut, lithograph, monoprint, or screen print, showcases the unique perspective and technique of its creator.

Richmond Printmakers is a cooperative of professional artists based in and around Richmond-upon-Thames. We work independently and come together to exhibit our work. Our supportive approach enables us to develop our creative practices by exploring and embracing new and experimental approaches, as well as promoting and preserving the traditions of printmaking. We each bring our individual and diverse work to a wide audience through our local and national exhibitions.  https://www.richmondprintmakers.co.uk/.
