Learn More About Two Of The Renowned Printmakers
Joan Hodgkiss is a Suffolk-based printmaker as well as artist. Her etchings are largely based on imagery of seaside panoramas, still life as well as natural history. Using conventional techniques, Joan makes contemporary etchings. Subtle differences in the hand-colouring and hand-printing process help make every print unique. These limited editions, signed prints give one a chance to own authentic art or make an excellent fine art present. All of Joan’s present artwork is showcased in the gallery department.
Etching is an intaglio method going back to the sixteenth century in which chemicals are utilized to produce an incised art graphic on a steel printing plate. To begin with, a copper or zinc plate will be covered in acid-resistant wax referred to as a ground. The artist draws through this ground, exposing the metal. The plate is then immersed in acid, that eats into the plate. Differing the direct exposure could produce different intensities of lines. Ink will then be put on to the plate and the excess removed. Lastly, prints are made by passing the plate as well as paper through a press with great pressure to transfer the ink from the submerged traces. Artists like Rembrandt, Renoir, Picasso, Degas, Toulouse Lautrec, as well as Whistler have all made etchings.
Each one of Joan's prints are genuine in that each one is a hand-coloured as well as hand-printed impression of an original pattern. Joan usually produces 150 such impressions, called an edition, from every one of her designs. Each is one-of-a-kind and each is signed and numbered. Therefore, the 13th print of an edition of 150 is going to be designated 13/150 at the bottom left hand side of the impression.
Prints produced in this way should not be mistaken for mass produced art prints or giclees, that, although frequently autographed by the artisan and sold as a limited edition are all identical duplicates and must not be sold as original prints. Genuine etchings will usually have an indentation in the paper left by the edges of the plate.
