Joel Elgin, Athraigh Studio. Printmaking in the Time of COVID-19. A Series of Small Exhibitions: John Copley. Easter Weekend Exhibition



COVID – 19 has forced the cancellation of many of this Easter weekend’s important religious events. Services, rituals  and celebrations will not involve the gatherings of people that we are all used to, but the meaning behind the weekend lives on.
Athraigh Print Studio offers you an exhibition of lithographs by John Copley. Copley and his wife, lithographer, Ethel Gabain, produced complex color lithos as well as etchings but preferred the directness of achromatic lithography.
