Been having a lovely play with collage, oil pastel and paint while watching @nicholaswilton’s kitchen table art workshop.

It’s been too long since I had a bit of creative play. Glad I did it!

Tomorrow I’ll be at Hillsborough Pavillion ( in the park next to the bowling green) for @rivelinco’s Festive Makers Market. Open from 11am.

As well as new work I am bringing along some secret goody bags, some wrapped up surprises and I’ll be having a sale of some of my works onto wood as well.

Hope you can come along. There are some fantastic local makers going to be there and it should be a lovely day!!

An excellent day yesterday.

I managed to visit the @hchontos exhibition at the @thefinchproject_ which was truly wonderful. I’m so inspired by the combinations of media, the colours, the different marks, lines and daubs on each artwork. Just wonderful.

Then a lovely wander about through ‘London Tan’ before an afternoon at the Theatre to see ‘cousin Annie’ performing in Macbeth alongside David Tennant, followed by a delicious meal catching up with her and hearing all her news.

Finally more wandering, seeing the lights and hearing all the music and general business of the big city before a wander back to the Barbican where we are staying in a gorgeous bedsit courtesy of @alan.benzie.

Next week I’m really getting my head down with two school workshops and my final event of the year with @rivelinco. It’s good to have had this blast of culture before a busy week. It’s revived me and filled me with ideas and inspiration!

Thanks to @jamesgreenprintworks and @suzitprints for organising the fantastic @sheffieldprintfair yesterday.

It was really great to be at a fair on my home turf and see so many familiar faces & lovely loyal customers come and say ‘hi’ and have a catch up. Thanks so much especially to everyone who bought work from me. I really do appreciate your support.

So many great printmakers at the event, but
it was so busy from the start that I barely had time to wander about the fair. However it was nice to briefly see and chat to @robins_room, @luizaholub, @maggiemagoodesigns, @evelynpolk, @lucygell, @shirleystevenson175, @studioaprille and most importantly many thanks to @joanna.rucklidge for helping me pack up at the end.

Only one more fair this year but before that, next Sunday I have my ‘Festive card and gift wrap printing’ workshop. If you would like to join me there a just a few spaces left. It’s going to be a lovely afternoon of printing and getting just a bit Christmassy.

Sat 7th Dec it’s the Festive Makers Fair with @rivelinco here in Hillsborough. One of my fave fairs of the year!

Yesterday’s printing.

I impulsively added orange to this length of fabric due to become a lampshade. I wasn’t sure once I’d done it, but looking at it this morning….i love it!

Hopefully I’ll have time to assemble it and bring it along to the @sheffieldprintfair on Saturday.

I’m looking forward to this Saturday when I’ll be at @sheffieldprintfair along with lots of other amazing printmakers. I’ve added a few photos of some of the woodcut and linocut printed work onto fabric, wood and paper that I’ll bring along.

It’s going to be ace!

My new cards arrived today!

I make many of my designs for cards by collaging using recycled printed papers. I have a huge collection of colourful, textured prints that didn’t make the grade & that I keep in boxes my studio. Once I’m happy with a collage its photographed and then I use photoshop to resize the image and add a few details.

The second photo is a timelapse film of me tearing and cutting some of this printed paper to make this particular card. I like to set myself a short timed challenge as a way to concentrate my mind on the task in hand. Otherwise it would never get finished! Not all my collages become cards but this Winter Robin was so cute I couldn’t resist.
