Print Room Take over of Blog... PLOT 4 PRINT

Swapping this...

For this (and a blog)

So the college I work in is closed due to the corona virus.
Everyone is working at home.
I don't really know what that looks like for an Art technician...so this is my contribution, a thought for the day, somewhere to put ideas, work in progress and links to great stuff I find online.

This online space will now be substituted for the print room resource at college.

Much of the content will be inspired by my allotment as I resort to making use of the resources at my disposal and I am a great believer in stepping away form the computer.

Here goes Plot 4 Print!

Welcome!

Very satisfying to make a screen print in a day!

This is my next course at Hot Bed Press with the fabulous Mandy Tolley...
... a perfectly seasonal introduction to textile screen printing!

Manchester Artist Book Fair

Wow, been a long time since posting!
Recent news includes taking part in Manchester Artist Book Fair a week or so ago. It was a great event and heralds a change in scale and application for my fabric endeavours.

This weekend will see the launch of the Hot Bed Press 20:20 Print Exchange.

Below is my contribution and I will post the link to the Flicker account as soon as it is available.

My print is a discharge print on two layers inspired by a night time trip to Kew Gardens where landscapes were floodlit in lurid green and blue.
