Monthly Artists Talk's
Clare Phelan
Thursday 22nd February 2024
6 .00 - 7.30pm
MEMBERS ONLY EVENT
We are delighted to present HBP member and artist, Clare Phelan, for our second artist talk at our workshop.
Clare will talk about her experiences as a full time Artist. The presentation will cover the ideas that underpin her practice, the print processes she uses and her experiences of exhibiting in galleries and art fairs since 2017.
After working as an Art Psychotherapist in the NHS for twenty years Clare returned to education completing a Masters Degree in ‘Visual Art’ at Bradford College in 2013. She spent the next three years honing her printmaking skills on the Complete Printmaker Course at Hot Bed Press. Clare will discuss the highs and lows of ‘putting your work out there’ and encourage debate on how best to balance the different aspects involved in an artist’s practice.
NEXT UP...
Thursday 18th April - 6-7.30pm
Dani Molyneux - Dotto Studio
A type-twisting artist and designer, and the person behind Manchester based creative studio, Dotto. Her work features powerful messages told through playful typography. She blends punchy colours, graphic lettering + evocative words to create big, bold pieces that take up space, make some noise and speak with conviction.
She will be chatting about setting up her studio, playing with (and balancing) creative disciplines, the ups and downs of creating personal work, selling work and work for commissions, alongside the beauty of collaboration.
