An opportunity is presented for a residency at GPC

This is to celebrate the contribution to Printmaking by one of the GPC’s Founder Members, Barbara Webb.

Barbara studied at the John Cass School, London and at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington. Her work was mainly concerned with urban landscapes in all forms of printmaking. She was a founder member of Camden Print Makers and was also an active member of the Gloucestershire Printmaking Cooperative. Three of her screen prints are in the Government Art Collection. In 2009 she took part in “Art in Action” where she demonstrated etching. She has exhibited extensively in London, including in the Summer Exhibitions at the Royal Academy. In 1999 Barbara won first prize at the Miniature Print Exhibition held in Toronto. Widely travelled and with a wealth of experience in the arts of printmaking, Barbara’s eye for detail and skill resulted in images that have a timeless quality which is pleasing to both the eye and the soul.

She passed away in February 2022.

Recipients: Sophie Rose Wright & Dougal Kirkland

The opportunity to spend several months on residency at the GPC was amazing. Members at the GPC were very generous with their time and i learned a lot through the community. The GPC has fab facilities and I really enjoyed my time etching, it was a very productive time for me developing new techniques and skills with printmaking I learned a lot!  The exhibition of the work was also a great experience and went very well. It was fantastic working alongside Sophie who was also artist in residence at the time and generally becoming more involved with such a creative community in Stroud. Would highly recommend applying to this award and look forward to joining a full time membership.

I am so grateful for my time spent at the GPC, it was a great opportunity to try out new techniques and learn from experienced printmakers who work with many different processes and approaches. The facilities generously offered to us for free were very comprehensive and allowed for experimentation and combining processes. The exhibition was a lovely way to end the residency, and enabled us to meet new people who were interested in the work. I’ve been inspired to continue printmaking after having a break post residency – I’ve been opened up to many more possibilities with my art practice and look forward to exploring printmaking further in the future.
