About Peter Wareham

Peter's Workflow:
The ideas for Peter's prints come from landscapes, cityscapes and the still life of objects. His work begins through drawings and photographs taken at the scene from which he constructs prints - mostly as etchings - at the Artichoke Print Workshop in South London.
The process takes place on a metal plate, by drawing through an acid resistant wax ground on the surface of the plate. The exposed a areas are then etched with nitric acid, to create an intaglio printed line. Tones are then added by fusing a powdered resin to the surface and progressively etching the exposed areas again with acid - a process known as aquatint.
This highly skillful hands-on process is not to be confused with reprographic printing, or the so-called "giclee" squirting of inkjet printers.

Peter is a member of ‘South Bank Printmakers’, a co-opertaive of 30 of Britain's leading printmakers, exhibiting and selling work through their gallery on London's South Bank. Also a member of Greenwich Printmakers, another leading printmakers' Gallery in south east London.
