#FungiFriday

A Page From My Sketchbook.

I did a group session at Swansea Print Workshop a few weeks ago, with other printmakers. We worked in two techniques, linocut and collagraph, and made tiny blocks and plates using a collection of local fungi as our inspiration. I drew mine in pencil and Inktense blocks.

25 tiny prints on one sheet.

Then we printed them up into a limited edition onto one large piece of paper – 25 blocks in all. We did enough for each participating artist to have one, and a couple left over for the Print Workshop collection.

The inked blocks ready to go through the press.

The session was led by two wonderful printmakers, Sarah Hopkins and Sameera Khan. We did it all in a day, from scratch, thanks to their expertise.

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D
