Studio view this morning. I am sitting down to plan my second Zoom art workshop. Where I am demonstrating some of my collage techniques. I’m also hoping to start cutting some new blocks for much larger abstract woodcut prints. Meanwhile I’m also aware that I want to create some postcard size prints for an upcoming exhibition at @cupolacontemporaryart which has a deadline looming. Hmmm will I get it all done today?

About a quarter of the printed and prepped papers

About a quarter of the printed and prepped papers I’ve made today as a practice run for tomorrow’s Zoom creative art workshop. I’ve recorded myself too and discovered I make the most annoying tutting noise when I talk! Argh....😂 .

Happy Friday folks. I’ve spent most of the secon

Happy Friday folks. I’ve spent most of the second half of this week sat at a computer organising all sorts of things including some rather exciting (and a little bit scary) Zoom workshops. I’m glad I got some creative time earlier in the week when I decided to do some printing after a long break due to a painful shoulder. My shoulder survived and I’m chuffed with what I did including this rather dark and mysterious ‘one off’ woodcut print.
Anyway, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere and I’m off for a glass of something. 🥂wishing you a lovely evening in this gorgeous weather.

Earlier this year I made some ‘garden inspired’ collages in anticipation of the veg produce I was going to grow in my tiny urban garden. My peas failed and my beetroot is smaller than I’d hoped for. I never managed to plant any carrots, but my tomatoes are looking promising. They are mostly still green but there are a lot of them...fingers crossed for some ☀️
Whether or not you enjoy growing fruit and veg you can enjoy my ‘Garden Veg’ collage as a print or a card. Available in my Etsy shop and also at @sheffieldmakershuntersbar

I got the printing inks out today and I’m so ple

I got the printing inks out today and I’m so pleased to have completed this colourful print. Titled ‘From Small Seeds No I’ it’s a woodcut print with additional lino and stamp printing and the design is inspired by the joy of watching my plants grow in my garden. One of the things which has helped keep me sane over the past few months in lockdown. Although it is technically a print, it is a ‘one off’ I tend to work in this way and rarely make editions. It has 10 layers (at least) of printing on and as is often the case when I print (as I tend to work quite intuitively) it’s been waiting for me to have a moment of inspiration and know just what I need to do to complete it. The woodcut has embossed the paper in some parts and the textures of the wood can be seen in other areas.

The print itself measures 20cm x 30cm - the paper is bigger and if mounted it will fit nicely into a frame A3 size or more.

I will be adding this one off piece onto my website in the next few days. If you would like to buy it from me you can dm me direct. In the meantime I’ll let you know when it’s on the website. It is £100 plus p&p.

Through lockdown I’ve been doing a bit of sewing

Through lockdown I’ve been doing a bit of sewing, making masks and also teaching my daughter a few basics. Not that I have much experience myself mind you, although I do know my way around a sewing machine. Anyway, making my own clothes is definitely something I’ve wanted to do for years and I’m super pleased with this jacket that I’ve just finished. I had to go slow with it ‘cause of my feeble shoulder but hooray it’s done at last! It’s @merchantandmills fabric and I downloaded a free pattern from the internet.

I’ve just been down to @cupolacontemporaryart to see the exhibitions of @jamesgreenprintworks and @johnapedder. It’s so lovely to see contemporary print all around the gallery. Especially my favourite- woodcut. As is always the case with Cupola exhibitions, the work is engaging, challenging and refreshing. John and James’s exhibitions compliment each other, while being very different in terms of techniques and subject matter. You don’t need to book to come down though definitely bring a face mask.
There are some rather nice colourful prints by another local artist in the window too. 😉

It’s really grey here today. Where is the sun? Ah well, in the meantime here is another one of my collage experiments. I’m really looking forward to being able to get woodcut printing again and hopefully develop some of my collage ideas into prints. I’ll keep you posted. 😀

Following my steroid injection in my shoulder this

Following my steroid injection in my shoulder this morning I’ve been advised I shouldn’t really do much with my arm for a few days. As it’s my left arm that’s been affected and I’m left handed this is not easy. So, I’m doing lots of gentle paper snipping and making little collages. Mostly abstract but I seemed to have made a wee dog too! 😀
