Recently launched "The Fine Art Print Company"

Kath Cockshaw, former curator at Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum would like to make contact with LSA members.

I have recently launched The Fine Art Print Company, managed by print specialist, Dunstan Baker. Our fine art reproduction services are targeted specifically at artists, galleries and museums. We are able to document any fine art media, print at any size (from small to very large format, max 1.6m width) using the highest quality archival inks, papers and canvases. We operate a print-on-demand service, an ideal form of self-publishing for emerging and professional artists.

The website, www.fapc.co.uk will be launching shortly.

I also co-manage Hawkins, a new commercial art gallery in Bath and continue to work as a freelance exhibitions curator.

Email me at kath@fapc.co.uk, or phone 01225 333177.

LIFE DRAWING

I teach regular Life Drawing workshops on the first Saturday of every month in the studio at Shottery Memorial Hall nr. Stratford on Avon. Previous experience of life drawing, though desirable ,is not essential as the aim is to improve the drawing skills of each individual from whatever level they begin. I cover a variety of drawing activities ranging from very quick poses to quite long ones, involving pure line drawing and full tonal drawing.

We start at 10am and finish at 4.30pm.  - the cost is £35 for the day. Advanced booking is essential - please contact me if you would like to book or require further details.

Warwickshire Artsweek

 5th to 20th July 2008

Warwickshire Artsweek is the biennial celebration of the visual arts & crafts, open to all artists living and/or working in Warwickshire. The event, now in its 8th year, offers a wonderful opportunity to promote and sell work through galleries, open studios, exhibitions, workshops and demonstrations.

Since its inception in 2000, Warwickshire Artsweek has grown from a handful of exhibitions and open studios across the county to over 170 separate events in 2006. Warwickshire Artsweek forms part of the growing national calendar of open studio and artsweek events that happen every year across the UK.

However, the one big change for Warwickshire Artsweek 2008 is that it is now being organised and managed by the people that matter, the artists themselves!
