Alfons on the Archive – Exploring Past Editions
On Thursday 20th March from 6pm to 7pm explore Edinburgh Printmakers archive with Master Printer Alfons Bytautas.
Alfons was etching technician of Edinburgh Printmakers for over 30 years working with artists such as John Bellany, Sandy Moffat and Peter Howson among many many others.
In an informal exploration Alfons will walk us through his years editioning at Edinburgh Printmakers, as well as his previous training at Atelier 17 in Paris with S.W. Hayter and the development of the acrylic-resist etching techniques.
He will also present projects produced at Bonfire Editions, his own independent studio established in 1988, as well as prints made for Paragon Press and current work at Northumbria University and Incubate Experimental Printmaking.
The event is aimed at EP Studio Members, experienced printmakers wanting to develop their understanding and get a glimpse into the collaborative process of editioning with artists as part of a studio print publishing programme.
On the Archive series of events is part of our heritage project Castle Mills: Then & Now supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, made possible by money raised by National Lottery players.
