Seacourt is a print workshop based in the seaside town of Bangor, Northern Ireland. We offer membership, courses and resources for all, as well as our self-arranged residency programme.

OUR STORY

Seacourt Print Workshop was founded in 1981 by Margaret Arthur and Jean Duncan. They wanted to be able to practice printmaking close to home and starting small, they established a print workshop. To help pay for overheads and purchase equipment they delivered courses to local people, then schools and the membership started to grow.

MEMBERSHIP

We offer several levels of membership at seacourt and we’re always delighted to welcome new printmakers into our community.

There is a simple application process so that we can ensure you have the necessary skills and experience to work in the space safely.

We can also prepare you for membership through courses and one to one training. There is always coffee on the go so arrange to drop by for a tour and a chat about options. Download an application form here.

HEALTH AND WELLBEING

Health and Wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do here at Seacourt. Our workshop is an inclusive, supportive environment that encourages people of all abilities to become a member, book a course or volunteer with us.

It’s usually schools, schools and more schools during our autumn term at Seacourt! But Covid has provided huge challenges for our Schools that they are weathering admirably🙌. So we were delighted to be back at Enniskillen Royal Grammar last week facilitating drypoint experiments. Amazing work. We’re taking bookings for the New Year now so teachers drop us a line. #seacourtprints

Alice Wyatt's exhibition is accessible to the public by appointment, until Friday 27th November, and will reopen on 11th December, as per government guidelines.Photographs do not do these collagraphs justice, as it is only in person you are visually immersed into a world of rich tones, mythical forests and enchanting creatures. A few prints have already been purchased in the lead up to Christmas.The exhibition will be on display for a few months to give everybody an opportunity to pop in. Give us a call on 028 9146 0595 to book an appointment or DM us your desired date/time.Alternatively, you can view the work on our online exhibition video by clicking the link below:https://seacourt-ni.org.uk/exhibitions/members-gallery-alice-wyatt/

Delighted to see that @joannefitzpatrickartist exhibition has a new date for reopening. A lot of work and great that people can have the chance to enjoy. 🙌

We are delighted to see our very own @nathaliecaleyron being showcased over on @theblackboxbelfast socials. Nathalie’s prints are exquisite little insights into her world. Scroll down for more on her Green Room exhibition. #seacourtprints Posted @withregram • @theblackboxbelfast Due to the venue being closed we cannot have our regular exhibitions in The Green Room, instead our exhibitions will be moved online.This month we are so glad to have @nathaliecaleyron back since their exhibition was cut short in the Green Room due to the venue closing in March due to Covid-19Nathalie Caleyron Donnelly is originally from France but has lived in North Belfast for over 30 years.She discovered printmaking through a woodcut workshop in Seacourt Print Workshop (Bangor) 5 years ago.It was a ‘love at first sight’ experience and she has been involved in printmaking and a member in Seacourt since.Her prints are mostly multiplate lino, often with an element of monoprinting, giving a uniqueness to each single hand pulled print within the same edition.Statement:
My prints tend to centre around my ‘happy places’. The safe havens you go to when you close your eyes and take a deep breath.My exhibition in the Green Room in March this year was a little tour of these special places, friends, cherished memories, favourite cafés…. but coincided with the first wave of the virus and had to be taken down within 10 days, as we moved into lockdown.Since then, my ‘happy places’ had to be found around the house and in ordinary every day moments. Coffee time, lunch with my husband and daughter, plants coming through in our tiny yard, daily activities around my beloved kitchen table…Home.
See more on our website and keep an eye out for their Instagram take over and blog later on this month!
