Nicola Slattery is well known for her distinct style of figurative - narrative paintings. She also has a background in printmaking and has introduced many people to the "Collagraph" and "Drypoint" techniques which she started teaching back in the 1980's. Since then many artists have taken up these simple and direct approaches to printmaking after discovering the techniques on one of her weekend art courses or holidays, or reading her articles on them in national art magazines. These techniques are now popular and in widespread use.

 

"In an age where fashion is often for all things digital, I am pleased to have helped to pioneer and promote these hand made printmaking techniques . Although most of my energy now flows into painting there is a deep and continuing link with printmaking and I often return to these simple and direct methods of 'mark making'.  

Original limited edition prints by Nicola Slattery can be bought directly from her art studio or delivered worldwide. They have been reproduced in several printmaking books including: "The Printmakers Cat", "The Artful Hare", "The Little Chicken Book" and "The Elegant Fowl" -  all available mail order from publishers Mascot Media.    See the Work Published page for link

Suzie Rose  recommends Nicola Slattery RBA - ArtistJune 24 · 

 

"Just finished a fantastic two-day Painting in Acrylics course with Nicola at her lovely Norfolk studio. I learned so much and the weekend was great fun. A very relaxed atmosphere with plenty of support from Nicola and the freedom to work at my own pace. A truly lovely bunch of fellow learners to boot. Already planning my return trip with a few fellow students from today! Highly recommend."

Chris Plaw sent an email in October 2020 about his recent experience on the Printmaking weekend art course saying: " I had a great time on the course and learned a lot about printing methods that I never had a clue about. [..] We all worked in a safe environment and achieved some excellent work. All good news. I will highly recommend you to my friends and associates and encourage them to enrol sometime in the future with you."

 

Sandra Hanna posted on FaceBook 13th July 2022
"It was an amazing weekend. I learned so much about collagraph and drypoint printing. It was a privilege to be tutored by such a talented and accomplished artist as Nicola. Beautiful studio too."  and  Amanda Roberts, also on the same weekend art course added: "Yes it was a great weekend making lots of lovely prints would totally recommend it!"

 

The weekend art courses are enjoyed by people of varying artistic backgrounds. Some are complete beginners while others are keen to explore new ideas, artistic techniques and approaches. The weekend painting courses have a particilar focus on painting using acrylics and ideas from imagination. The weekend printmaking courses teach collagraph and drypoint techinques. Many experienced artists and complete beginners have discovered these printmaking techniques through one on the weekend art courses. Everyone is always very welcome.
