Dover Printfest21

Dover Studio Collective

An artist collective and the Victorian factory transformed: A few years ago a group of South East Kent artists transformed a disused Victorian Dover factory into their creative studio workspaces. Dover based DAD (Dover Arts Development) artist Clare Smith discovered the vacant industrial unit and saw its potential as a much needed creative space within the town. Few traces remain of its previous industrial heritage dating back to 1900, except for an ancient wooden bench running the whole length of the ground floor studios. Spread across two floors, the spacious old building, which once manufactured, repaired and hired large marquee tents, now accommodates artists in light filled open plan workspaces

Artists at the Dover studios work with a variety of media and techniques, but some use print in multiple forms as part of their professional practice. These range from traditional lino-cut relief printmaking techniques, through collotype to fluid mono-print experiments, and also chemically reactive/resistive processes.

The Dover Studio artists are proud to join with artists nearby in France and Europe-wide to celebrate together this ninth Fête de l’estampe annual series of printmaking events. Against the backdrop of an era of political divisions, pan-European collaborations across borders are of value and more important than ever; with this being our fourth consecutive year participating.

Dover Printfest21 events:

Dover Studio Collective – Open Studio:

Saturday 25/5 – Sunday 30/5: Open Studio Online

Saturday 29/5 & Sunday 30/5: Studio visits 11.00 – 16.00

Dover Studio Collective would like to welcome visitors to their Open Studios, as part of a series of Print Fair events in conjunction with Future Foundry and Dover Arts Development (DAD) in Dover, celebrating the 9th Fête de l’estampe in France.

Covid19 restrictions:

Currently in the UK public events or buildings are not permitted to open in a bid to slow the world-wide pandemic. Although restrictions are slowly being lifted and we emerge from lock-down, it is impossible at present to foresee how long certain emergency restrictions will continue for. If it still not possible to open our studios to the public, then the Print Festival event will be hosted across a number of virtual locations, enabling artists to continue to present their printmaking to the public.

Round Table / Table Ronde: Online (Virtual/Zoom)
24 may 19.30 – 21.30

A discussion focusing on how printed marks/printmaking can be integrated or incorporated into other processes: drawing, textiles, etc.

Polaroid Spectra fades

Polaroid instant Spectra film fades from history as film production ceases and these super little cameras, like my Spectra Pro will no longer be fed. These images were made using expired 1990’s original Polaroid Spectra film peeled from pack and mounted on card.
