Press Gang day

Here is a page of Press Gang activity, we are gearing up for our
next exhibition.

 The front desk where John holds fort, good reference books on printmaking, 
the roll, maybe examples of various print methods.

 Interesting ink colours being prepared in readiness for collagraphs.



 Caroline's framed mixed media and collaged works, incorporating some woodblock and stitching.

 The press where magic happens, we wait with baited breath to see the results revealed.


 Our sink, painters have been here before us.

 My pile of prints, decisions to be made, a tree or not a tree (to be added)?

 Helen hand carving vinyl.

 2 different collagraph plates, mine and Cecily's, showing shapes and textures.


 Inking up Vivienne's collagraph plate, native fauna.

 Berri's reduction linocut. Showing the various stages and results. 



 A good mottled effect in the centre of this flower.

 John displays the results of Cecily's fish print.

 Very experimental, pre-washed paper with food dyes used as you would 
watercolour,then overprinted with a drypoint. I'm very happy with this, 
thanks John for choosing the right positioning of the landscape.

 The drying racks filling after a productive day. Berri suggested this shot.

Rather than wasting this lovely shade of blue ink, Berri 
attempts a monoprint using a spoon as a barren  tool.
