I’ve been hacking away at my lump of old plywood today. I darkened the outline drawing I did yesterday with a greasy charcoaly thing from Daler Rowney – I should be more technical I know, but I lost the box it came in – and then I hacked the white bits out of it. I’m still hacking but I’m hoping to do a first proof next week.
The Swansea Print Workshop annual members’ exhibition previews next Tuesday (13th November) from 6.30 pm with a classic Welsh tea – Welsh Cakes, Bara Brith, lashings of tea and some wine too. Please join us if you’re anywhere near Swansea. The exhibition runs until December 20th and there will be loads of stuff to buy for Xmas pressies and cards too.

I love the movement that is going on with your marks. What size is this? It looks beautiful. I can’t wait to see a print!
It’s about 50 cms by 15 cms. I’m hoping to do a first proof this week.
Why thank you kind lady 🙂
Now that is nice! Almost looks like you’re unearthing an archeological dig. The Piltdown man?
Yes, it does. Very skinny model 🙂
It’s beautiful as it is.
Thank you. I can’t wait to take a proof print
