International exhibition shows off best of the printmakers' craft...
WORK by some of the country's leading creative printmakers has gone on display at the Ropewalk gallery in Barton.
The North Lincolnshire International Print Open 2010 exhibition, the second showing of the biennial event, features 93 pieces from about 300 entries.
The selected prints were chosen by Melvyn Petterson, of London's Artichoke Printmaking Studio, and artist and printmaker Meg Dutton, a fellow and vice-president of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers.
The gallery's exhibition officer Richard Hatfield said: "Both Melvyn and Meg are involved with the Royal Society of Painters-Printmakers and were very impressed with the high standard of work submitted.
"We were very pleased with the range of work and the geographical spread of the submissions.
"The job was a very difficult one; if we had another gallery I am sure we could have filled it with no real discernable drop in quality."
The 400 selectors' prize was awarded to Catherine Sutcliffe-Fuller of York for her print Managed Woodlands.
Other prizes were awarded to London printmakers Colin Gale and Camilla Clutterbuck, Timothy Morrison from Sherriff Hutton, Glasshouses' Emerson Mayes and Piers Browne of Askrigg.
