Last week I did 3 versions of my drawing of Miner’s Wives confronting the police (1984/85) onto Mark Resist film (see below). Today I chose the fine line drawing on the right to develop with Indian Ink and brushes. There’s still a lot to do before I expose it onto a photo-sensitised screen but IContinue reading “Work In Progress: Miner’s Wives 4.”

The First Cuts.
I’ve started cutting into the lino block about the Miner’s Wives that I have been designing for what seems like ages! I really want to get this right, though. It contains a lot of text, which is really hard to cut, especially backwards. Here are the first cuts.
The Transfer.
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.”
Work In Progress: Miner’s Wives 2.
Here’s a second 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 is drawn with Lihtographic Tusche and an Isabey squirrelContinue reading “Work In Progress: Miner’s Wives 2.”
Grym : Power.
The rough hewn cut-marks gouged into the lino form cloisons that enclose shiny jewels of metallic watercolours. The block is printed in the deepest black oil-based ink onto a Japanese HoSho paper and when dry, watercolour paints are applied with the finest Isabey squirrel brushes. I’ve been working on a collaborative project with the multi-disciplinaryContinue reading “Grym : Power.”

Work In Progress: Miner’s Wives1.
I spent a few hours down at Swansea Print Workshop this afternoon, trying out some more ideas for the print I intend to make about the glorious South Wales Miner’s Wives from the 1984-1985 strike. I have already made some pen and ink sketches from contemporary press photos and I’m trying out different materials toContinue reading “Work In Progress: Miner’s Wives1.”

It was open to anyone, from anywhere, all ages, free for those who couldn’t afford to make a donation, and over the long months ofContinue reading “Faking It (Again)”

She’s about to release her new bilingual album Tri(ger) Warning(s), which has been steered by a number of key Welsh language words. Each artist has chosen oneContinue reading “Metallic Bits …”
