Fae Kilburn presents a Printmaking Studio as part of Ikon’s exhibition Start the Press! (9 February – 21 April 2024).
Kilburn is one of eight printmakers who operate an antique, working flatbed printing press from Wolverhampton School of Art: establishing a functioning printmaking workshop, producing original prints and filling the gallery walls as artwork is made in real time. Full schedule available here.
This exhibition is supported by Freelands Foundation, Jerwood Foundation, The Saintbury Trust, University of Birmingham and University of Wolverhampton.
Start the Press! is presented as part of Ikon’s 60th anniversary year.
About the artist
Fae Kilburn is a Midlands based artist and arts facilitator. She uses a variety of printmaking techniques including monoprint, silkscreen, collagraph and etching. Kilburn’s work is inspired by history, identity and disability, often including or referring to the lived experiences of other disabled people in her work; this becomes a collaboration of their narrative and her artwork. Creating disability awareness is an important part of Kilburn’s practice.
