Made in Greenwich

From Friday 9th October to Sunday 18th our Kethi Copeland and fellow artist Anna Portisch will be at the Made in Greenwich gallery at 324 Creek Road London SE10 9SW.  They are running  an exciting series of workshops on relief printing, where you can make your own greetings card as well as Hat Making for children and adults.

To take part in this extravaganza - to book a place - email Anna 

Kethi and Anna's work will be on display to buy or simply admire!

Kethi tells us stories about places, through her architectural drawings - offering a fresh perspective on what may be familiar surroundings. The level of attention to detail is carried through from her hand drawings to the final artwork through the art of screen-printing; building up each image through layers of printed colour.

Focus on Kethi Copeland

Kethi at work

Kethi is one of our Southbank printmakers who specialises in wonderful screen-printed artwork which captures London's diverse mix of  architecture. Currently she is exploring the intriguing cityscape on the north side of the Thames with its unique mix of the old and the new London. 

The part of the Thames that these screen-prints will capture is the beautiful layered cityscape from London bridge to Tower bridge; here the old and new London sit together; directly on the Thames there are the elegant buildings of Old Billingsgate and Customs House and then, towering above right behind are brand new shapes of London's skyline glass buildings with nicknames like the 'Walkie-Talkie' and the 'Cheese-Grater'. The city forms the backdrop to our daily lives and memories and it is this connection that Kethi captures in her prints.

Below you can watch a video of Kethi in her studio, making preparatory drawings and inking up her work.  She makes it look so easy! If only.......

Kethi is currently offering her work in a crowdfunding campaign. You can access her page here http://igg.me/at/kethi and I can tell you, it is well worth a visit.  The reward for a donation is an opportunity to own some of this lovely work.  Starting from only £1 through to £1000 with a screen-printing demo and a chance to pull your own print - this is a very special initiative.
