Sponsor a Print

You can help support the work of Chippenham Museum by sponsoring a print in our upcoming exhibition, Jack Shirreff and the 107 Workshop, running from Saturday 6 March to Saturday 5 June 2027.

This exciting exhibition will celebrate the work of Master Printer Jack Shirreff, whose print studio, 107 Workshop, worked with some of the biggest names in modern post-war British art, including Howard Hodgkin, Gillian Ayres and Joe Tilson.

The exhibition will be an opportunity for Chippenham Museum to display several works produced at 107 Workshop, which were recently donated to the collection.

Your contribution will go towards supporting the exhibition, including the specialist conservation framing of these large-scale prints, allowing them to be displayed for the very first time.

In recognition of your support, sponsors will be acknowledged in the exhibition’s acknowledgement panel and receive an invitation to a special private view event.

Sponsorship starts from as little as £25. We also welcome support for the wider exhibition, or you can sponsor one of the following prints:

• Demeter, the Hidden Seed, 1982, Joe Tilson, four-part soft-ground etching with aquatint
• Lobster, 1982, Michael Heindorff, etching with carborundum
• Hesiod’s Crown, 1984, Joe Tilson, etching with aquatint
• Metamorphosis of Daphne, 1987, Joe Tilson, lift-ground etching with aquatint, woodcut and carborundum
• The Queen of the Night, 1990, John Bellany, etching with aquatint
• Cinnabar, 1999, Gillian Ayres, etching with carborundum and hand colouring
• Home, 2001, Howard Hodgkin, etching with carborundum and hand colouring

Donations can also be made in person at Chippenham Museum by cash, cheque or card.
