Event Description

Leinster Printmakers and

Séamus Heaney

10 Feb—31 Mar 2020

Launch on 10 Feb at 6.30pm

All welcome

In June 2019, The Leinster Printmaking Studio was invited

to devise an exhibition especially for the Festival Irlandese in

Bassano, Italy. The work of poet Séamus Heaney was

selected as theme for the festival.

Artist members of the studio and invited guests chose

a poem to inspire their work. They produced an eclectic

body of work using a variety of traditional processes: etching,

drypoint, carborundum, screenprint,

linocut and woodcut.

Thirty-one artists created a beautiful exhibition of 43 prints,

all equal in size but responding to different poems.

dlr Libraries are pleased to welcome Leinster Printmaking

Studio back to dlr LexIcon for an exhibition coinciding with

the Mountains to Sea dlr Book Festival, a festival much-loved

by Séamus Heaney.
