Drawing on Spike Island’s current exhibition, Sophia Al-Maria and Lydia Ourahmane: Grey Unpleasant Land, artist Elliot Steele leads a drop-in printmaking workshop. Participants are invited to reflect on the themes, stories and artworks featured in the exhibition, creating unique interpretations through the process of monoprint. Experiment with mark-making, layering, stencilling and composition to produce a unique, one-off print using this immediate and hands-on technique. You can drop-in any time throughout the session and stay for as long as you wish. All materials are provided, and the workshop is open to all ages and abilities. *This event was rescheduled from Saturday 7 December 2024. I AM MAKING ARTThese regular activity sessions are led by artists and visual practitioners. Visitors of all ages and abilities can try out new techniques and approaches to making art, from drawing and painting to collage, sculpture and animation. All materials are provided. ELLIOT STEELEElliot Steele is an artist and printmaker, specialising in letterpress and monotype processes. With a keen eye for form and an insatiable curiosity for the interplay between letters and visuals, his work is an exploration of language and imagery. Steele's practice deviates away from the traditions of letterpress and typography, by manipulating single letters, words, and sentences, he crafts compositions that dance between abstraction and representation, offering viewers an individual viewpoint. Steele has a degree in Illustration from Middlesex University, and a master’s degree in Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking from UWE Bristol. Complementing his artistic pursuits, he has shared his expertise as a Printmaking technician at Spike Print Studio, and currently serves as a freelance Printmaking tutor and art technician. www.instagram.com/elliotsteele_artist Image credit: Courtesy Elliot Steele Information Source: Spike Island | eventbrite

This is a chance to explore the building’s unique architectural features and meet some of the artists based at Spike Island, learn about their practice and view works in progress. On this visit, we meet artists Pia Pack and Phil Root. Pack is a painter, who uses repetition as a process to uncover and probe the mystery of patterns. Root is a visual artist whose ceramic works explore our relationship to dwelling, landscape and the earth. PIA PACK Pia Pack lives and works in Bristol. Pack studied painting at Wimbledon School of Art, Central St Martins and Bath School of Art, and has been included in group shows in London and the U.S. Whilst living in Los Angeles, Pack established the podcast What Artists Listen To, aimed at bringing artist’s studio practises to life and building a community amongst creatives in the city and further afield. This communal sentiment has been continued recently with an initiative entitled Binder of Women, organised by Pack to unite a group of ten women artists to create portfolios of print works and art shows as an art collective. At the beginning of 2025, Pack is in the exhibition Tenterhooks at Gillian Jason Gallery. PHIL ROOT Phil Root is a visual artist whose work examines how ceramic can be a tool to tell stories of place and engage audiences with the often complex and overlooked histories within the land. Root’s works and projects explore our relationship to dwelling, landscape and the earth, using natural materials and traditional techniques in unorthodox ways. From his studio at Spike Island and Lyde Green Pottery, a wood fired kiln site in North Bristol, Root fires his work and runs workshops for other artists and potters. Image: L: Phil Root.
