Printmaking day

Here are some different pics of a day spent at Wallarobba
Arts and Cultural Centre in the Printmaking Studio.

I like to view the artist's hands at work, as well as the
delightful output.

You never know what to expect week to week, sometimes
the process leading to the final result is just as interesting.

 What do metallic foil, paper doillies, berries and their juice, 
all add up to? Watch this space...

Lorraine starts her Venice inspired Drypoint.


 Sue adds mixed media to a lino print. Her work is full of symbolism.

 Louise prepares her dampened paper for Drypoint prints. 
On the bed of the press are her inked and wiped back plates.

 This mysterious Sage Green ink could amount to anything.

 A Drypoint of a rose by Louise, sometimes she hand-colours these afterwards.

 A detail from the lino plate of Sue's.

 A residue of ink left behind on the glass can be still used for a Monoprint. 
Drawn and scraped into and then a hand pulled print.

 The meticulous planning of Robin's Linocut prints. These will be reduction, so it is 
a step by step process, all the colours have to be planned out.

 These paintings were left behind in the drying racks on the day we had to share the studio space. 
We also need the racks for drying our prints. So I brought them out into the main room for 
a mini exhibition, I thought the concept and the execution quite good and interesting. 
I have no information on who's artwork they are.
