This year we welcomed artist Emily Motto to Bluecoat for a year long residency as the 2019 New Contemporaries Bursary Studio Artist. New Contemporaries has supported UK arts graduates since 1949 and Emily was selected for their annual open submission exhibition in 2014 at Liverpool’s World Museum.

Here Emily talks to us about her work, how it feels to have been selected for the bursary, and what makes Liverpool such a great city for artists. 

1. Can you tell us a bit about your practice so far as an artist? What kind of work are you interested in making?

Etching is one of the oldest methods of printing still used today. In order to find out a bit more about this technique, we asked Print Studio Manager and Abacus artist Frances Disley to explain the process used in creating an etching print. As well as being the Bluecoat Print Studio Manager, Frances is also a practicing artist, based at The Royal Standard in Liverpool.
