Eighth Annual Print Exhibition
12th - 20th September
In 2009 the Printmakers working at The Rodd have continued to push the boundaries in terms of the size of their prints, the techniques they have employed and the Trust's ability to show the resultant work. The 2009 Steam Roller Project with a considerable degree of skill has generated prints often in excess of 8ft. x 4ft. that have required the full height of the Tithe Barn for hanging. The exhibition also includes a selection of works produced using aluminium plates in a saline/sulphate solution, fine art prints made by artists/members of the Trust's print studio and book arts by the growing group of book artists who meet at The Rodd.
