A workshop and symposium at Dorich House Museum

This all-day symposium at Dorich House Museum will explore the museum’s collection of prints and situate them within the framework of Russian and global prints history. The day consists of a morning printmaking workshop, an afternoon symposium and an evening drinks reception.

The morning workshop will be a practical demonstration of a type of folk print known as “lubok”, with Helen Higgins (Courtauld Institute of Art). Over lunch, Louise Hardiman will lead a tour of the museum’s Russian art collection. The afternoon presentations will explore the history of printmaking in the Russian Empire, including: the activities of western and Russian printmakers in Russia and the west; patronage of printmaking by imperial rulers; print connoisseurship; and transnational connections and knowledge transfer in the printed medium.

Alongside the day’s events, Dorich House Museum will launch a virtual exhibition of the museum’s collection of prints, curated by Lauren Warner-Treloar.
