  • Final prints

    It was so hot in the print studios so wasn’t sure these were going to get finished.

    Peaks / valleys is made from lead type and Ebb & flow is a mix of wooden and lead type. Both prints took much patience with alignment!

  • Simple looking but complicated!

    I am on a 2 day letterpress course at the moment. Spent the day positioning my type in a rather complicated fashion. Looking forward to finishing the 2 colour prints tomorrow.

  • Bookmaking / box making

    I just spent 2 days making boxes for books and objects with the ever patient Meg Richardson.

    A clam case for my Home (2014) book and a box full of compartments for printing supplies. A great deal of concentration was required!

  • Back to printing again

    There’s been a bit of a gap due to hundreds of pieces of work that needed assessing!

    Just started thinking about next wlyb exhibition theme = ebb and flow. Beginning with some circles which look a little like continents when they are printed. The nooks and crannies that resemble fjords and rivers are in fact edges of words.

  • Farming Tuesday – just for a change

    Was sorting out some screen prints this morning and then the sun started to come out. This meant a trip to my rented plot of land on an organic small holding. Spent a lot of time weeding and strimming. Below is the garlic which is doing really well – shame I am allergic to it!

  • Technical changes

    The website is undergoing some structural changes. It should end up with much of the original content but with room for new material too.
