SUMMARY:Carl Borges: Collagraphs
DESCRIPTION:Collagraphs are wonderfully textured prints that are produced without the chemicals needed for etching. Instead\, the plate is made by glueing textured materials to a cardboard base. The plate can then be linked in a variety of ways to produce textured monochrome or beautifully coloured prints. \nCarl Borges has been a printmaker for twenty years and teaches regularly at the Print Workshop. He has been making collagraphs for the last ten years. \n£192 + VAT £230\nPWS members £175 + VAT £210 \n

SUMMARY:Nicole Farhi: Heads and Hands
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn 2015 Nicole Farhi\, sculptor and former fashion designer created a bronze bust of Thomas Gainsborough for Gainsborough’s House. Four years later we are delighted to announce a solo exhibition of sculptural portraits of heads and hands by the artist. \nThe exhibition includes busts of some of the great artists of the past 100 years including Lucian Freud (1922-2011)\, Francis Bacon (1909–1992)\, but perhaps most notably\, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005)\, Nicole Farhi’s great friend and mentor. Influential figures from stage and screen are represented through the heads of Sir David Hare\, Tom Stoppard\, Judi Dench and Helena Bonham Carter. \nTalking about the process of creating her work\, Nicole explains that the portrait busts emerge from a sitting in the studio where photographs are taken of the subject. \n‘I then start building an armature and after a few hours sculpting in clay the structure of the face will appear or not … Once I have the structure the true character will follow –sometimes days later\, weeks\, sometimes months.’ \nImportantly the exhibition also includes portraits of hands and\, like the heads that they accompany in this exhibition\, they show character and reflect the life and work of the sitter. They portray the dexterous hands of musicians\, graceful hands of dancers\, the experienced hands of a sculptor and the joyful hands of children. \n‘Hands’\, Nicole says\, ‘can be even more expressive than the face. They can tell you everything about who the person is\, what they are like\, what they do.’ \nA sculptor for nearly thirty-five years Nicole studied with Eduardo Paolozzi and has exhibited widely. Her depiction of artists and cultural figures led to the creation of the bust of Thomas Gainsborough\, which Nicole presented to Gainsborough’s House. \nImage: Nicole in her studio

SUMMARY:Early Gainsborough: 'From the Obscurity of a Country Town'
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition focusses on the early life and art of Thomas Gainsborough (1727-88). It explores how Gainsborough made his first steps in the art world from the inspiration of the landscape surrounding his hometown of Sudbury\, through his training in London in the 1740s\, to his return to Suffolk around 1748. This is a particularly important exhibition for Gainsborough’s House because it deals with Gainsborough’s time in Sudbury\, his family and reveals for the first time new research on this significant period of the burgeoning artist. \nThis exhibition will show paintings from Gainsborough’s House collection\, new acquisitions and loans that give new insight into Gainsborough’s early life and development as an artist. It will draw on a significant collection of the paintings\, prints and ephemera on Gainsborough from the 1740s. \n  \nImage above:\nThomas Gainsborough (1727-88)\nMR & MRS JOHN BROWN AND THEIR\nDAUGHTER\, ANNA MARIA\,\nc. 1754-55\noil on canvas\n© Private Collection Norfolk UK
