A Celebration of
Sky
7th March - 11th June 2023
The next exhibition at Lyme Regis Museum’s Rotunda Gallery will focus on cloudscape lino prints
by Exeter-based printmaker Steve Manning. Working out of his attic
studio with commanding views of sky and clouds, Steve is drawn to liminal places where sky and water merge and to ephemeral
cloudscapes over big landscapes. His aim is to deliver images with a
lightness of touch and a painterly quality reminiscent of
watercolours. This is achieved by thinning ink with extenders,
lightening with white, wiping ink on the block, deliberately
reducing the amount of ink applied with the roller and combining
press and hand finishing processes.
Tues-Sun 10am-4pm;
but check Museum website (www.lymeregismuseum.co.uk)
for holiday openings and admission charges.

WALKS and TOURS |
Do take advice about safe tide times before setting off for more than
 fifteen
minutes hike, without a guide, along our beautiful beaches: - what
appears to be an easy bit of ground to scramble over is more
likely to be a treacherous mud slide - don't take a chance! |
