The Kamloops Printmakers Society is a non-profit organization that provides studio facilities for artists working in print-based media. The studio is equipped through the generous contributions of society members and friends of the society. We provide for a wide range of print-based art practice, including screen printing, intaglio, and relief processes. We now have a Letterpress and our members are working in monoprints and innovative technologies such as alumi-num foil lithography (Kitchen Litho) and Mokulito (lithography on wood panels).
The Kamloops Printmakers are busily preparing for spring and summer. We are printing t-shirts for the Peace, Social Justice, and Environment Days’ events on June 23rd. Thanks to our volunteers, Danelle and Nicholas, for their work. Look for the re-purposed shirts at the Saturday Farmers’ Market, in the weeks before the event at the Country Gardens Greenhouse stall.
Intaglio Workshop Marnie Blair
June 1,2,3 Fri. 6:30-8:00PM Sat. Sun. 10:00AM-4:00PM. Non-Members $198.00 Members $130.00
This workshop is for absolute beginners, and for those who wish to refresh skills and familiarize themselves with the Printmakers Society studio.
Intaglio is an Italian term (in tall io) for making marks using a surface that is incised (lower than surrounding areas). The incised areas hold ink while the surface is wiped clean thus creating an image when paper under pressure is applied to the plate. Several identical impressions (an edition) can be made with the plate. Rembrandt was one of the first printmakers to use this process.
Participants will make their own image on a copper plate and will print it on our large etching press. The image will be drawn through a resist and then etched to create incised lines, shapes, and patterns. Materials for one print are provided. Additional paper and copper plates are available for purchase.
Fear of drawing is no excuse. There are strategies to get around self-perceived lack of skill.
Friday evening, 6:30-8:00PM, we assemble for an information/demo and fun session and on Saturday we get to work.
Folded Book Workshop Maureen Light
Sat. and Sun., June 23 and 24th 10:00AM-4:00PM Non-members $75.00 Members $60.00 Learn how to make a simple but elegant folded book with decorated covers. This book makes a great keep-sake book for photographs or prints. An assortment of decorated papers will be included for students to choose from. Many contemporary printmakers use folded books as a vehicle to display their prints; first printing an image and then folding it into a book. Three variations of folded books will be covered in the course.
Introduction to Relief: Lino Elizbeth Sigalet and Susan Miller Sat.-Sun., July 14-15 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM (bring a lunch) Non-members $90.00 Members $70.00
Whether you are an established printmaker or a beginner, lino cuts are a great way to experiment with relief printing. In a social weekend we will go through the basics of cutting, inking, and printing. We will use the large printing press, and will also demonstrate techniques to print plates at home without a press.
Participants will learn how to transfer an image onto a plate, how to manage the cutting tools, and carve using a bench hook, and most importantly to print their plate. There will be an opportunity to exchange prints with other participants. This is a fun way to start your collection of hand-pulled original prints. Supplies included: lino plate, ink, some paper. Lino tools and additional paper will be available for purchase at cost. Limited to 8 participants.

About Kelly
As an artist / printmaker Kelly tries to find things that represent her life and how she feels about the way she sees things or the reality of issues. Art allows her to create the words and feelings she cannot say. She explores the land by gathering rocks or simply going for her gypsy drives to catch the glimpse of the eagle as it soars over her head. A way for her to find peace.
Kelly returned to school after a life altering event, graduating with her BFA in 2005. Kelly has 4 incredible children and 9 wonderful grandchildren. From time to time they explore art or search for rocks and soils, which they use to create paints or crayons. Kelly is always exploring new ways to create her art.
Kelly has been in several Art / Printmaking groups and solo exhibitions in B.C., Ont., Sask., UK., and USA. Kelly worked at facilitated art workshops for adults with disabilities as well as Children at Risk with the school board, Kamloops Art Gallery, and Kamloops City / Museum. She is one of the founding members of Arnica Art Gallery. She is presently President/director of the Kamloops Printmakers Society, and has created a program called “Saturday Morning Art with Kelly C Perry” at the Old Courthouse every Saturday. As well, Kelly is proud to have VIDA from San Francisco use her art for their clothing and decor line.
Artist Statement
My artist journey, I wanted to share some happiness with you as the viewer. Winter is upon us and this last summer was a total loss due to the fires in the area. So I found my art taking a different direction as times became difficult. I chose art to create that took me beyond my comfort zone, in the form of animals, birds ect. My reflection today is that the difficult things make me work hard and this is a way for me to prove only to myself I can do it and hopefully not fail. This is something I have battled from a very young age, possibly part of bullying. Hearing and feeling I wasn’t smart plus being an immigrant. It has been quite a struggle. AND then comes my happy days when I begin to take the smallest brushes and mixing my own colours letting the brush take me where it wants to go. My garden, wildflowers or just the freedom of several different brush strokes. I call it intuitive. I am totally lost in thought as I sit on the couch feet balancing my canvas.
