“The Transferred Image: how prints work”

What is the difference between an etching, a linocut and a silk screen print? Irma is going to talk about the many ways of printing and how she uses them in her work.                                                                                       

The making of images has always been an essential part of her life. After extensive travel she has settled in York, where she has a  printmaking studio in a small, converted Methodist chapel which forms part of her house. She concentrates on etching, but wood and linocut relief printing are indispensible too. 

Her work includes several sets for productions in the Theatre Royal, Rowntrees Theatre and The Early Music Centre.  She has also recently finished writing and illustrating a children's book called The Dragon Tree.
