Painter Stainers

Dawn Reader (@dawn_reader) will be demonstrating alongside a myriad of expert artisans and artists, painters and Stainers May 14-16 @paintershalllondon during @londoncraftweek Do visit the ‘Restoration & Revival - elevations of the hand crafted surface’ to hear talks and see how we craft and make it. Please see previous post…

I have always loved wildlife, especially birds. I find they have a unique way of bringing a positive emotive feeling to my work. When I paint, there’s always a storyline, admittedly in my head, regarding the interaction between flora and fauna.

This year’s event will be a series of demonstrations and talks that showcase the expertise and professional experience of our members across the whole spectrum of craft, decoration and restoration - pigment making, wood graining, marbling and trompe l’oeil, fine-art picture framing, gilding, chinoiserie, japanning, gilded botanical art, wallpaper and lincrusta restoration, stencilling, calligraphy, illumination, painting conservation and painted cloth - the original, medieval technique of ‘staining’, from which the Company derives its name.
Our event will be complemented by a panel discussion on Saturday 16th at 2pm with our very own Lucia Scalisi, Gerry Alabone, Paul Humphreys and Stephen Levrant debating the art and challenge of conservation / restoration.
Painters Hall, 9 Little Trinity Lane, London EC4V 2AD
