“Wild goose chase”, “Neither here nor there” and “In a pickle” are all phrases originally coined by William Shakespeare that we now use in our everyday language.
Explore original prints inspired by these phrases and more at an exhibition to celebrate the anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth (and death), traditionally considered to be 23rd April.
Exhibits have been created by artists who belong to The Ropewalk Printmakers, a collective of likeminded creatives based in Barton on Humber.
The free exhibition takes place in the Albert Room at Cleethorpes Library from 3rd April to 18th May during library opening hours. Framed prints are also available to buy.

This is a great opportunity for the public to view some unique art. These prints are challenging to make and each one is inked and printed one at a time in small edition. The literary theme is very clever and fitting for the library.
