CHOOSING ARTWORKS FOR THE EXHIBITION
It is difficult to say exactly how many artworks we can each hang but this is a much bigger space than our previous exhibitions
I would say prepare to hang as many artworks as you want to within reason.
It is your choice what appears in the exhibition and it doesn't need to be artwork produced in the weekly workshops.
FROM NOW TO THE EXHIBITION
Everyone has work that would look good in the exhibition already and we have 6 weeks to produce extra work.
During this six weeks there will continue to be project ideas each class but please feel free to pursue your own direction for the exhibition. I will have individual discussions with you around this development of themes or series or individual artworks
We have plenty of reference in the studio and on Pinterest and of course you can develop your own ideas.
PREPARING YOUR ARTWORK
WHICH ARTWORKS TO CHOOSE
I hope to confirm with everyone individually, before our half term, which artworks you would like in the exhibition and what size. This will also allow you to prepare the frames/mounts etc in good time.
FRAMING OPTIONS
-
I would recommend getting readymade frames - this means preparing the artwork and mount to standard sizes. Bespoke framing can be very expensive.
-
Online - www.frames.co.uk
-
Seawhites - I can get very good prices for these - see right of page - Have a look at their website:
-
The Range - good cost effective range www.therange.co.uk/picture-frames
MOUNTS
I have heard good things about Rottingdean Framers: www.rottingdeangallery.co.uk
Also heard good things about the framers at
Newhaven Fort: Newhaven Fort, Fort Rd, Newhaven BN9 9DS 01273 512689
Fotobox in Seaford will make mounts to the correct size. They will cut to size but as an idea of cost an A3 mount would be £6.50 and an A2 mount would be £11.
I have also just found on Google Penrod Pictures in Seaford - would be worth checking out
Frames from the The Range come with mounts so worth looking at these.
GICLEE PRINTING
If you have Giclee prints you can include a surround area on the print instead of having a separate mount - ask Mike for clarification on this, I can help you prepare artworks in Photoshop.
WHERE TO GET A GICLEE PRINT
Giclee prints can be prepared here printed at Harwood Printmakers www.harwoodking.com
PRINTING CARDS TO SELL
There are online sites where you can get artworks prepared but Tansley's Printers is a very good and helpful local printer for digital runs. A few artists in the group used them over the last year with excellent results.
Have a look at their website to get an idea of costs. Please also discuss with me if you are interested in having cards printed.
Others recently also used an online printer Art4site.co.uk online very good results - the colour was an excellent match to the original. Please note that there is a significant cost for delivery - so worth checking this at the strt of the process.
more information to follow
More information will appear here as we get closer to the exhibition about preparation of artworks and framing - if you want to see info now please have a look at last years info in drop down menu for links to framers etc.
PREPARING INFORMATION FOR THE COMPANY YOU GET TO MAKE YOUR MOUNTS
Below is an example of how to plan your mount size. I will also explain in class.
