I’m doing a couple of prints inspired by the Welsh Miner’s Wives in the strikes of 1984-1985. I’ve finalised the content for the linocut and today transferred the drawing and text – backwards – onto a 30×30 cms block of soft grey hessian-backed lino. I sharpened my tools (Flexcut) on the leather slip strop andContinue reading “The Transfer.”

Work In Progress: Miner’s Wives 3.
Finally, the third version of a screen print transparency I’m making about the glorious South Wales Miner’s Wives from the 1984-1985 strike. It’s based on some pen and ink sketches from contemporary press photos and I’m trying out different materials to redraw the image onto Mark Resist film. This last version is drawn with Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens, which areContinue reading “Work In Progress: Miner’s Wives 3.”

Smiling And Splendid Women.

I’m taking inspiration from a documentary video made at the time by the late Professor Jen Wilson. The film is on YouTube and although a bit clunky byContinue reading “Smiling And Splendid Women.”
Another Quickie From The Folk Club.
Another little sketch from the Riverside Folk Club last week. I used ink drawing pens and I made a mistake drawing his hand so I filled in his jumper with Nitram charcoal to cover it up. Cheating or creative license? 😀
More From The Folk Club.
Husb sings in a local community choir, Aderyn Du Brynmill Blackbirds, and they gave a short performance of Medieval Christmas Carols at the Riverside Folk Club in Loughor earlier this week. I tagged along and of course, I had to have a scribble. Here are two of the performers that I caught with my drawing pens.
