St Barnabas Gallery is hosting an exhibition of new work by Zhou Jirong, 'City - the Waking of Insects', a set of screenprints exploring the look and culture
of old Beijing. The exhibition runs from 10 October to 31 October, Mon - Sat 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Entry is free and work is available for sale.
You are invited to the exhibition private view on Saturday 10
October at 7 p.m. at St. Barnabas Gallery.
In conjunction with the exhibition, we are going to run a two-day workshop on Water-based Reduction
Screenprinting on Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 October, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., given by Zhou Jirong, Lecturer in
Printmaking at the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing. The workshop
will be held at St. Barnabas Press.
Reduction screenprinting is a technique similar to reduction woodcut,
but applied to silkscreen. You only need one screen, directly working
your image on the screen, printing from bright colours to dark, using up
to 4-5 colours. This technique keeps registration mistakes to a minimum,
allows you to work quickly, and means you don't waste any time in the
dark room!
Mr. Zhou has been a lecturer in the Central Academy of Fine Art
since 1988. His knowledge is boundless and will bring you a very fast,
exciting and productive course.
Number of places on the workshop is limited to six people. If
you would like to join the course, please contact us as soon as possible.
Price for the two days is £120, including all materials and tuition
costs. A deposit of 50% is payable on booking your place.
For further information on the workshop or exhibition, please contact us
on 01223 413792 or 01223 693213.
We are running another series of intensive courses in printmaking in 2009, greatly expanded from last year, starting in July and

The St Barnabas Gallery features a new exhibition, "The human predicament, and atmospheric pastoral scenes", featuring the work
of two St Barnabas printmakers, Charlotte Woodley and John Colliety. The exhibition of new etchings and woodcuts runs from
Saturday 7 March til Thursday 26 March at the St Barnabas Press Gallery. Opening times 10 am - 6 pm Monday - Friday, 10 am - 4 pm Saturdays.
Viewing Saturday 7 March, 4 pm - 7.30 pm, with snacks, tea and drinks.
Forthcoming exhibition at The St Barnabas Gallery, "Charcoals Hot and Cold", an exhibition of drawings by Sam Motherwell.
Dates Saturday 25 April til Saturday 16 May 2009, gallery opening times 10 am - 6 pm Monday - Friday, 10 am - 4 pm Saturday.
"These 30 drawings on A2 paper were all done on-the-spot while on holiday in several contrasting countries
(Iceland, Scotland, Finland, India, Namibia, Spain, Egypt, Greece, ...) The idea is always to capture the feeling of a place,
without planning but seizing the moment. Each drawing takes about 40 minutes - longer and it gets spoiled. I choose the everyday
life of countries rather than the big set piece tourist scenes.
"My other work includes Cambridge drawings and linocuts, especially Mill Road. I rent studio space at St Barnabas Press which is an
inspiring place for making friends and learning new techniques." - Sam Motherwell
Barton Hargreaves, the newly announced first winner of the
Originals 09 St Barnabas Publishing Award, has been selected for a new public artwork
commission. The new work, titled ‘In Situ’, will be on show from March 2009 on the front of the Jerwood Space building in London.
This project is the result of Jerwood Space's participation in SOWF's Street Genius programme. SOWF (some other way forward) is
a project sponsored and supported by the South Bank and Bankside Cultural Quarter which aims to put young
people at the heart of the arts.
About the St Barnabas Publishing Award: "This year St Barnabas Press has taken part in the 'Originals 09' exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London.
We decided to offer a prize to promote an up-and-coming printmaker, and have awarded a publishing prize to Barton Hargreaves,
who accepted the prize in a ceremony at the opening. It was very difficult to choose an outright winner, but Barton's work showed a combination of unique
approach and interesting subject matter for the process of printing. We are looking forward to making a co-published collaborative
edition with him in the near future." - James Hill

Stanley Donwood and James Hill have been working over the last three months on photo-etchings using copper hydrocoat -
the results have been very fine. They have produced ten images printed on Imperial Moulin du Gue. Donwood's superb images
of climate change are warnings of our fragile existence, and the earth's peril, using strong symbolic motifs of his own making.
Stanley's work is exhibiting at the
Lazarides Gallery, Soho,
London from Fri 15th June to Sat 14th July.
A couple of spaces are available for rent. If you're interested, please contact
.
