About the Artist
Annie Fforde has over 20 years printmaking experience. Recently returned from living and working in French Catalonia, leading workshops for members, and a local college, exploring and combining many techniques of print. Organising local exhibitions, national and international, and exchanges with various different groups of printmakers. Since returning to the UK, I enjoyed meeting up with old printmaking friends and through the West Yorkshire group Inkers I have been able to lead several workshops with the aid of Arts Council funding which has been awarded to our group for research into the Bradford textile archives. This will result in an exhibition at the Dye House in Bradford. I have been involved with other workshops,the Piece Hall for the People Play project, the Artworks, where we are planning a summer school and the Leeds Industrial museum. I have had several exhibitions since returning to the UK, the Dye House, Bradford, Lincoln Open, Ropewalk Gallery, Dean Clough, Halifax. We have a couple of exhibitions pending including Arts Trail in Saltaire.
