New print ideas onto paper and fabric. Definitely work in progress, rather than finished ideas.
I’ve been playing with repeat pattern. It’s a lot of fun! My starting point is the geometric arrangement of the walled garden in Hillsborough, as seen from above. I’ll not be sticking to anything symmetrical and regular for long though….😁

Last year I painted my first ever outdoor mural on

Last year I painted my first ever outdoor mural on the @thegreenshopsheffield gates near to where I live.

I’m very excited to now be working on a new mural that is going to be huge (6 metres long!) in a primary school here in Sheffield.

So far, all the children in the school have had the opportunity to create drawings inspired by where they live and I’ve visited the school to ask for the students help with thinking about the composition of the mural. I’ve included a photo of one small groups composition idea. I worked with about 7 different groups who all had brilliant ideas and gave me much to think about.
Next stage is beginning painting the base coat on the wall while also finalising the design.

By the way, I have posters of my Green Shop gates available to buy at the Green shop and @anniejudesshopsheffield here in Hillsborough. Or you can dm me if you’d like one.

Had a lovely catch up with @iamjennywren including a brief bit of drawing in Hillsborough’s walled garden yesterday, before a downpour confirmed we should retire to the old coach house cafe for yummy coffee and cake.

I went home and had a bit of a play with some simple monoprinting techniques.

I’ll be back at the walled garden/ makers shed tomorrow, from midday for a ‘drop in’ printmaking taster session for @rivelinco.

If you are free and would like to try mono or press printing, come along! There are quite a few other activities taking place in the makers shed at the same time, you can find out more if you visit RivelinCo’s website. No need to book! 😀

I’ve had a really good day of being in creative

I’ve had a really good day of being in creative flow. I’m learning so much about how my printed and plain recycled pieces of linen or cotton (or silk screen mesh) can be used together.
Now for some evening sewing with my plus 3 reading glasses and a very bright light!

Work in progress. I had a very happy day mono pr

Work in progress.

I had a very happy day mono printing onto fabric yesterday. Getting very carried away with lots of lines, colours and textures. I was aiming to print lots of pinks and oranges after my time in Hillsborough walled garden this week. I moved on to blues and greens (as always!) including some slightly ‘muddier’ greens than I usually go for.
As part of my research, I’ve been looking at the formal arrangements of the flower beds in the walled garden - starting with the actual arrangements and then playing around with these shapes and Rearranging them. In order to bring order to the somewhat chaotic mono printing on this piece, I was delighted to make use of a massive bag of off cuts of silk screen mesh (@studiowaterhouse will know what this is!)

Today’s job includes attaching the yellow mesh to the printed fabric, probably sewing it…but I’m really pleased with this piece so far….

From my observational drawings of flowers this wee

From my observational drawings of flowers this week, I’m realising there is no limit to the shapes, patterns and incredible colours to be seen. I can’t even begin reproduce many of the colours with the paints I have.

Inspired by my morning with @palimpsestparade Tans

Inspired by my morning with @palimpsestparade Tansy this week, I spent a couple of hours in the walled garden in Hillsborough today.

It’s a lovely, peaceful place and I was very content splodging ink and paint into my sketchbooks.

Today I met up with @palimpsestparade in Sheffield

Today I met up with @palimpsestparade in Sheffields botanical gardens for some drawing, painting, collage, etc in the hothouses.
It was lots of fun chatting about life and drawing the amazing cacti and other tropical foliage. It reminded me of being in Marrakesh with @tessapearsonart and @lara_harwood, @jonewman2, @barbaramansiart and others just over 3 years ago….only it was a tad cooler!

These photos are taken in the worst light (yellow bulb) but you get the idea. I definitely need to get out and draw more. I’m hoping to catch up with Tansy again soon for more drawing and chatting.

Tried to post this a while ago and it froze. ☹️

Now I can’t remember what I wrote. Let’s just say I’ve had a fab day with @bevseth in her studio, playing with clay. 😁🎉

All part of our collaboration leading up to our exhibition at @cupolacontemporaryart in October.
