During this workshop led by printmaker Louisa Loakes, you will respond to Berthe Morisot's swiftly painted glimpses of contemporary life and her unique way of mark-making, not aiming for perfection but embracing imperfections.
About Louisa Loakes
Louisa’s work blends elements from her fine art practice and her intuitive approach to textiles. Working from her studio in Peckham, Louisa’s practice is focused on the beautifully simple, slow art of hand-carved block printing. Distinctive in their simple use of geometric form, monochromatic palette and signature dash of hand-painted colour, Louisa’s hand-carved block printed patterns are charged with a human touch, the irregularities that appear in the printing process giving each piece a distinct energy and identity.
