Delighted to have some new workshops coming this O

Delighted to have some new workshops coming this October and November.

First up is Linocut printing on an Autumn theme, on a Saturday 3rd October. I’m using Autumn as a starting point and obviously you can take this in any direction you like. Needless to say there will be a lot of colour involved in all the printing taking place in the workshop.

Just to add that if you sign up for my mailing list (which you can find on the home page on my website if you scroll to the bottom) I’m offering discounts until Aug 31st! Be quick!! 😀

I can’t explain why it’s taken be so long to make

I can’t explain why it’s taken be so long to make these wooden blocks as I’ve been thinking about them for hmmm…. about 15 years.

My work is always linked to childhood memories and full of the notion of play in many ways. Here in my studio I can be fully absorbed as I was when I was playing as a child.

While my head and body have been so exhausted and sapped by the endless heat and news of fires and so much other sad, sad news, working on these today has been completely absorbing.

So many possibilities. Endless. Not sure how these will evolve but thought I’d share some work in progress.

It’s my birthday and I’ve made a reel.

Chose this song because it’s a favourite with my Choir @cwnn_sheffield

I know there is a lot to feel down about but looking over photos from the past 12 months I have to say it’s been a really wonderful year. I’ve so much to be thankful for. Couldn’t do it without my friends and community and especially @notatennisplayer and @antoniamurrayyy

After several weeks of non-stop printmaking workshops, I’m having a lovely break. I thought I’d share some of the wonderful feedback I’ve received from schools recently following my visits. You can read more about my workshops for schools following the link in my bio.

Have a lovely weekend!

Here I am at the @thearthouseuk in Wakefield for PRINTED!

There are a few select printmakers here today as well as printmaking activities to get involved with. It’s quite nice and cool in here too so if you are free and local come and say hello! 😁

A brief moment filmed yesterday at Eckington Festival where I was running printmaking activities yesterday.

It was non stop busy in the small gazebo where we had to zip up the sides of the tent it was that windy!! Papers blowing everywhere.

Everyone had a fab time though!

Next week I’m visiting a school over two days where we are creating collaborative printed sculptures!!

I just love these lampshades so much! They are rea

I just love these lampshades so much! They are really giving me summer time vibes! If you scroll through you can see the process of me making them.

I was printing them partly through the heatwave ,so maybe that’s where all the oranges and yellows came in.

I’m really chuffed they’re finished, along with some other works which I’ll share soon too. These aren’t available to buy directly on my website, but I’m always happy to answer any enquiries about them and I do make lampshades to commission.

You can find out more on my linktree. I’ll be bringing these particular ones to @thearthouseuk’s PRINTED event next Saturday (July 11th)

As well as the fair, I’m been in the thick of making lots of other work and also running lots of workshops over the next few weeks. Tomorrow I’m at Eckington Festival running printing activities from midday. If you are local to the area come and say hello!!

Some sun prints following a heatwave. Had some fun

Some sun prints following a heatwave. Had some fun yesterday block printing on babygro’s for my niece’s new baby. Also, a few of the colourful and varied woodcut prints made on my workshop on Saturday for @carousel_print_studio in a challengingly hot room with inks drying faster than we could roll them out. Nonetheless the prints produced where really fantastic!

Overall last week was hard! The heat was overwhelming, my daughter had her prom early in the week and the melting temperatures were not conducive to carefully styled hair and makeup looking as it was meant and then on Wednesday my 84 year old mum was rushed to hospital with sepsis!

Thankfully my sister had the wherewithal to call for an ambulance the minute she saw mum and all is well, after several days in hospital where she received wonderful attention from the NHS.

A few shots of work in progress in my very humid studio as I complete some woodcut prints - some to become lampshades and some to be mounted and framed …..and a few cats too!
They’ll be ready for various events including PRINTED at @thearthouseuk on July 11th and I’m so organised, I’ve already popped a few things on my website too. I’ll add the cats soon, but I’ve not photographed them yet!
