As one art project comes to an end, the next one gets started. I’m cutting a new little lino block – something for International Womens’ Day #IWD2020 . I’m using hard brown lino and I’ll fix the block to a stamp base that I bought in the Modular store in Berlin a while back.
And here’s a very short video of me finishing printing my last little lino block on my antique Sampson Mordan & Co press. It’s a gorgeous chunk of cast iron with lush Victorian styling and rather Steampunk.
This little block in the video is part of a print I am editioning, designed by Jamie Reid for GS Artists, who are showing an exhibition of his radical art in Swansea at the moment.
The video is great – you have such a calm, measured way of working, and that print came out perfectly. The lovely press adds to the the sense of calm process.
Thanks Anna. It gets very meditative after a while
Thanks for posting the little video.. I LOVE that press!
Thanks Helen. It’s a great little thing
