Felis Catus
Showing until 26 September
An exhibition of original prints by members of Green Door Printmaking Studio. Cats have historically captured the imagination of artists, who often turn to their feline companions for inspiration. This exhibition showcases the close relationship between printmakers and their enigmatic muses.

We were delighted to be joined in the studio last weekend by Denise Ince | Printmaker who was our winner for the Green Door prize at Printmaking Competition. Denise chose to learn how to etch using alternative grounds to create expressive marks during her course.

If you are interested in learning how to etch with safer materials, using the acrylic resist method, we have a number of courses available online via our website (link in bio). All of the courses we offer are available to book as a one-to-one tailored experience, whenever it suits you.
