Back to Swansea Print Workshop this afternoon, third day in a row, carrying on with little experimental blocks researching my next print about the Miner’s Wives in the 1980s Miner’s Strike. I want to put some text into my work so I had a bit of a play with a lino block and some lettering inspired by the great printmaker Paul Peter Piech, an American artist who spent the last decade of his life in South Wales.
The wording is from a song the Miner’s Wives sang on the picket lines in South Wales.
