Printmaker in Residence: Hannah Machover

Our Printmaker-in-Residence programme is a short 8-week residency for an MA Printmaking student from Camberwell UAL as part of an ongoing collaboration with the university. This residency supports an MA student during their study leave period, in which they can continue their work, acquire new skills and learn from our team of fantastic tutors and students. The collaboration provides a great link between our students and the Camberwell MA programme, offering an opportunity to learn about progression routes and elevating the conversation about contemporary printmaking in the department. In return, the printmaker will give a talk at the end of the residency, and donate one of each print to the department archive.

Our current Printmaker-in-Residence is Hannah Machover. She is exploring the work of Edward Bawden, and working closely with our librarian Elaine Andrews on her research.

Exhibitions

If you study Printmaking at 快播成人网 there are opportunities to exhibit work in the college鈥檚 exhibition spaces including the Barry Till Gallery, the Cardew Space and in 快播成人网 Gallery.
