Nathalie Caleyron at Seacourt Members' Gallery - Seacourt

CREATE YOUR OWN MAGIC

NATHALIE CALEYRON at Seacourt Members' Gallery

Opening Saturday 31st July at 2pm

Alongside Joanne Fitzpatrick’s show, Nathalie Caleyron will be exhibiting in our members’ gallery.

Nathalie’s most recent work reflects her experience of spending lots of time encapsulated at home during lockdown. Putting aside the destruction and tragedy of the past year, Nathalie chooses to find the euphoria within the mundane, through this body of work.

Nathalie primarily works with Linocut printmaking technique as she explores the relationship she has with her surroundings and the beauty in the ephemeral domesticity of everyday life.

You can also visit Seacourt anytime Monday to Friday, between 9am to 5pm.

You can also hear more about Nathalie’s inspiration over the last year via her interview with Arts&Business NI last month, linked below:

As Children's mental health week is coming to a close, we have been reflecting on some of the work we have done recently with the children of St Comgall's Primary School Bangor.

Now in our 6th week of the project, 2 Seacourt artists, @@rachel_india_alexander and @wilhelminapeace have been working with 2 P7 classes to explore various ideas around how artists mediate the world. Seacourt's Create a Space project is designed around using art as a wellbeing resource that can be tapped into as often as necessary. At this pivotal point in a child's transition onto the next stage of their life and education, the impact of this project is felt through every session.

The children in Rachel's group have been exploring themes such as automatic drawing, writing and movement using charcoal, alongside mixed media collage and Digital art through the use of green screen and animation. Rachel has also been sharing some knowledge on Dadaism, narrative and performance art to explore the concept of free thought and working intuitively.

These are a few examples from Rachel's class, with more to come about what Wilhelmina has been up to with her group.

These beautiful monotypes by @sarabrownartist and @ceciliastephens7988 are the result of a day of experimentation and inky play. Both Sara and Cecilia are long-standing members of our workshop and these prints reflect the totally immersive way in which they work.

We were speaking about how printmakers tend to collect objects and artefacts that become invaluable towards the creation of a perfect texture or form and how upsetting it is when those are destroyed or go missing.

You can see here, on image 8, how Sara has actually scribed into the ink on her work surface to create the texture of the fish she then transferred via the roller onto her plate. All of these little tricks come together within our shared learning environment as members regularly share ideas and advice.

We have had an absolute blast, learning lots about the history behind this beautiful building, built in 1920, to the designs of architect James A. Hanna.

Such as that In 1990 there was a proposal to demolish the bank but this met with a public outcry and the bank was instead extended to the rear by local practice Knox and Markwell.

The building continued to trade as a bank until 2017 when it closed, and had been empty before Seacourt's pop-up the summer of 2019, and then again until we relocated September 2021.

We are so excited to start filling the space with shared creativity, existential fortune and a welcoming environment for all to rummage through our print racks and perhaps create your very own printed souvenir.

Since moving into the old bank building on Main Street, Bangor, nearly 5 months ago, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster🎢. From manoeuvring our presses into the our new premises and negotiating space, to ministerial visits and uncovering a beautiful tiled floor underneath the bank's blue carpet tiles-it's been a journey 😅.

Naturally we were a bit apprehensive prior to the move, as we had gotten quite comfortable in our old premises at Balloo Industrial Estate, but as in times of upheaval, it has brought our small creative community closer and even welcomed a few newbies along the way 🥰.

Stay tuned tomorrow as we reveal Ⓗⓞⓦ ⓘⓣ'ⓢ 🅖🅞🅘🅝🅖 👀...

I am always fascinated by Helen Roberts' beautiful prints (aka @hedgerowprints114) as well as her work station! From little postcards of naturally dyed paper, to big green fern leaves rustling around in a canvas bag-usually hand-printed by Helen- there is always something quite magical about the way she rummages through her materials, inks them up and plays around with layers, tones and forms.

Helen is passionate about sustainable eco printing, which is a sustainable method of printmaking through the use of natural dyes and transferring them in an environmentally sustainable way onto paper or canvas.

Helen experiments at home with an array of natural dyes, such as those found in eucalyptus leaves, turmeric, coffee, flower pulp and herbs. using a variety of printmaking methods to explore this concept, Helen specialises in both cyanotype and mono-printing printmaking techniques.
