The Graphic Studio Dublin is a not – for – profit artists/printmakers studio, and is supported by the Arts Council. While our IUSA visitors were being introduced to many different processes, no-one showed signs of information overload – after another glass of wine, most people went out into that chill February night having been truly welcomed by the Studio artists, with images abounding in their heads, and a promise to return. Jean Bardon showed gold leaf application, Ger Cox, Jenny Lane demonstrated wood block printing, Ruth O‘Donnell explained the sugar lift etching technique, Aisling Dolan showed her photo etchings, Mick Timmins showed and explained lithography, Stephen Lawlor his multi – plate printing, Pamela Leonard showed the initial stages of drawing on a “smoked” copper plate, Dermot Ryan printed, Gráinne Cuffe showed drawings, and large etchings. The 35 or so visitors were invited to look at the Sponsors Portfolios, Studio artists’ work, and Visiting artists work with Robert Russell, Studio Director, and Catherine O’Riordan, Graphic Studio Gallery Manager. ![]() Having been placed in a historical context by Dr.Angela Griffith, the Studio was then open for viewing, with 11 printmakers present, showing and explaining their techniques, and talking about their work.
