My new studio is finally taking shape. Trying to squeeze all my type in is proving to be a bit tricky.
Luckily this batch has survived the move.

Work in progress
My book for wlyb 2016 exhibition on theme of dot dash is in progress. The prints are somewhere in a shipping container… So it isn’t quite finished yet!

It has been a while
A highlight is that I have been doing some very large letterpress prints for our next wlyb exhibition on the theme of intersect.

I have a lot of displacement activity!
Well…
Have been on an enamelling course which was great fun. Here is a pic of the glass grinding stage
I have admired some amazingly intricate weaving by my daughter. It was exhibited in an old mill in Stanley, north of Perth, Scotland.
And… The allotment has been temporarily completely tamed. There is even produce growing in the raised beds and fruit bushes and trees in blossom.

A bit of printing
Here are some collagraph prints / plates made by my daughter whilst she was home over Xmas.
I am still ‘thinking’ about my Ebb and Flow book. I just can’t make any decisions at the moment!
So the allotment has been progressing instead!

Preparing the last bit of ground
Finally the last bit of the allotment is being tackled ready for the last raised bed!
The onions and garlic are sprouting well.

The Rolls Royce of presses
Just treated myself to a new printing press after many years of
thinking about it! A lovely piece of kit that runs like a dream.
Just making up some new collagraph plates to try out in it. Still many layers of PVA to add and lots of drying in between!
Trial print from previously made plates

Weekend print course
Went on a great silk collagraph course at Leicester Print Workshop led by Sue Brown. So nice to be taught something rather than doing the teaching!

Tasty type
Was looking for some fluid type for the Ebb & Flow bookmaking brief. Found some on eBay. Can’t wait to start printing!
