With thanks to funding from the National Arts Council and the Bag Factory, Greatmore Studios, was able to host the 2011 Thupelo workshop for printmakers and saw 13 artists from South Africa and the African continent engaged in an intense 2 weeks of almost non-stop artistic practice, exchange and experimentation. The result was a visually diverse plethora of Imagery, themes and textures, ranging from the emotive to the energetic, and a must see for anyone who practices or is fond of the tradition of printmaking.

“The Workshop gave me an uninterrupted creative space with other creative people from different backgrounds and with different knowledge and personalities” - Di Metcalfe, Artist from Cape Town

“The other truly memorable experiences are due to the wonderful friendships formed across age, colour, cultural and nationality lines.”  Margot Hattingh
