Autumn is well under way and this weekend we will be celebrating our fabulous new hang on Saturday and Sunday with print demonstrations, drinks and snacks.  Visit us from noon onwards, see how it's done and have a go.  On Saturday, Martin Langford will be demonstrating and on Sunday it will be Roy Tonkin

Richard Peacock, whose work is featured as part of the Lambeth Open will be on hand both days and you can see his work and other affordable prints.  Maybe pick up an early Christmas gift? (there I said it! the 'C' word)

Orbital by Richard Peacock

Stolen Hours by Richard Peacock

Richard makes screen prints and woodcuts.  His work combines elements of abstraction and pop art, with a love of colour and rhythm. He often uses discarded packaging to make the stencils for his screen prints and raids skips for wood for his wood cuts.  His work is highly collectable.

We are the 'Waterloo' spot on the map below:

A date for your diary!  Rain or Shine!

Christmas at Gabriel's Wharf

A Festive Person dressed in a red boiler suit with a white beard will be roaming around Gabriel's Wharf on 

2nd December.  There will be a tree, live music and an all-pervading air of celebration. We will be adding to the general bonhomie with our own mulled wine and snackettes and some special treats for our smaller visitors.

By then we will have rehung the entire gallery and will be including some very reasonably priced small prints which make ideal presents as well as gift vouchers and highly original greetings cards courtesy of our artists.

It would be fantastic to see you there and we look forward to sharing our Christmas cheer with you..............

Last minute shopping

If, like me, you start your Christmas shopping 5 days before the great present - giving fest, please take a look at our website www.southbankprintmakers.com If you see something you like, give us a call.  We may have it in stock, we may even be able to deliver.  Better still, pop in.  We are open from 11.30 to 5 and although we may close early on Christmas Eve, if you call ahead....we will not!

Theresa Pateman's work is featured in the gallery at the moment, including the infamous 'Cat in a Basket' - an RA success story.

An enchanting view of Thameside

and this miraculous circular 'Winter Trees'

it just goes on and on...........What could be a better surprise that finding one of these in your pillowcase?

Finally

Saturday Extravaganza

I hope to be among the first to wish you all a     

    may everything about it sparkle and glisten etc etc......However, the reason for this, (some may feel,) premature recognition of the impending festivities, is because we at Southbank Printmakers will be joining with Coin Street in Gabriel's Wharf to bring you all the joys of the season this Saturday 3rd December

Our contribution will be delicious mulled wine to warm your hands and hearts as well as chocolate (who can resist?) and a visual feast of festive prints which we hope will be appealing to the eye and a delightful and eternal present.  All are welcome!  We will be delighted to see you!

(We will start serving in the afternoon, sometime after 12.00 )

Merry Christmas

Southbank Printmakers would like to thank all their loyal visitors who drop by throughout the year to buy or just to chat!

We wish you all

50 Years of Artists Prints

I was delighted to attend a Private View at the Bankside Gallery last night where they are hosting a wonderful exhibition entitled '50 Years of Artist's Prints' organised by the Printmaking Council.  It is an amazing collection of amazing work and the exhibition runs until 29th November.

Alongside larger works there is a delightful variety of mini-prints which are to be added to the V&A archives.

As if that isn't enough to whet your appetite the PMC have also produced a book featuring the work of its 124 members 'Making an Impression'.  It is available at the Bankside Gallery and also online here

The Bankside Gallery is open daily from 11 - 6

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Unsurprisingly the Gallery is closed today and tomorrow (Boxing Day) but we open our doors again on Saturday at 10am when Phillip Solly will be sitting.......Here is one of his meticulously observed etchings - 'After the Downpour'

In the afternoon you can meet Jennifer Jokhoo.  Jennifer works in lino cut and etching and is best known for her architectural images, with particular reference to the regeneration of London Bridge.  She has also produced a number of images of the Shard in various stages of construction, documenting its progression and focusing on its changing layers and shapes.

Constructing a Shard of Glass'

If you are around on Saturday, Phillip and Jennifer would be delighted to see you.  We are open from 10am to 7pm.

Have a lovely day today  and a big

 to all our customers for your support in 2014.  It's been a great year!
