Palmhouse? or the greenhouses and gardens at Calderstones...

I'd like to propose a drawing day involving botanical subject matter, I have been inspired by Elizabeth Blackadder's prints. Anyone know of a good place to do this?

My First Blog

As this is my first contribution to the blog I would just like to say a big thanks to Emma Gregory and my Six Fellow illustrators. I have throughly enjoyed being part of this group and I feel we have managed to produce some fantastic pieces of work. I am very much looking forward to fridays exhibition at Editions, I would also like to thank Olwen and Steve for getting are work hung for the show. I hope this will be the first of many exhibitions for the Liverpool illustrators.

Regards

Hi All, This is from Emma:

If anyone wants to join Emma Gregory in the Print Studio at the Bluecoat on Monday morning 20 July at 10am she will be demonstrating the registration of more than one relief block to create a multicoloured lino print. She will show how to offset a key stencil onto a second block for cutting and how to print 2 blocks in quick succession using the Kento method. This is part of the Skills Share project. For more details please chat with Emma.

Notes from July 11 Meet: Bluecoat espresso 9.00 am

Show

• All work to Olwen for final hanging today.
• e invite has been received and needs to be circulated among group, then out to our own lists asap.
• Catering: Mary -cakes, Jane -savoury, Rhonda -wine.

Future plans

• We'll continue to meet on Tuesdays
• Drawing will feature (Theatre rehearsal), also a visit to hotbed press, an animation day (Kieron), bookbinding (Mary) and of course more print.
• Next show tbc.
• New group members invited via Phil and Kieron
• Facebook page
• Group website to showcase work

Goals

The current thrust of the group is creative endeavour (Experiment with printing, drawing, making, ideas.) While we will plan projects to promote our work commercially with mailshots and website etc, we are still focussed on the print room at Bluecoat. Currently the max capacity in the room is 8. For now Liverpool Illustrators will stay small, in the future, who knows....?
