Today we tackled mark making using black and white and a variety of media. Since everyone loved playing with image making techniques, we will extend this to our next session. Click on events for more info.
Screen printing on off cut fabric
Pictures from our session on a chilly Sunday morning, we had fun Gelli plate printing using leaves and grasses. Julia gave us a workshop on the process, and Karen provided the Gelli plates and rollers. Everyone produce a good body of prints to take home at the end of the session. The great thing about the gatherings is everyone pitches in, are generous and supportive and of course exchange ideas. A new process for most and Gelli plate manufacturers just got a few new customers!

As we hurtle towards winter the studio is now a recognisable building, not just a huge layer of gravel concrete and block work.
Thanks to Covid and supply chain meltdowns, the gift that keeps on giving, we have seen raw materials rocket in price. Any budget that we might have imagined is just a distant memory.
We stand back and look at the build taking shape, and feel poor but chuffed.
Views to the valley we have never had before the build
Fitting the industrial metal roof
The larch cladding appears and so does a real feel of how the finished building will look
