Printing Extravaganza

On Thursday I held a 'Printing Extravaganza' where participants could either improve their skills,  learn, or combine techniques.... and their work was superb! We focussed on lino, dry point and collagraph. It's quite a challenge to run this workshop and keep everyone happy, so I didn't get time to photograph everyone's work ...sorry! But then again, I didn't even get time to eat a biscuit! ..and it's normally me that eats most of them! 

Lino cut gift tags that will be embellished at home ...

This was a great effort for a first time at drypoint! Several prints were made and they may be hannd coloured later. 

Trying to represent snow on the fell is no easy task ..this collagraph captured the feeling of the Northern Fells. 

A fabulous collagraph by an experienced and regular attendee - superb! The plate is above the print.  

By carefully removing ink the stones stand out in this image - the inking up of a collagraph plate is often the hardest part. 

...and  I love the feeling of the light coming through the trees in this collagraph!
