I spent a bit more time playing with a gel plate at Swansea Print Workshop this afternoon, using a round gel plate, a few pieces of used bubble wrap, Cranfield Safe-Wash Process Cyan relief ink and Extender onto HoSho paper. I overprinted the pieces I’ve done in the last two weeks, mixing very little of the blueContinue reading “Blue Gelli.”

To The Legendary Lake: 1.
It’s August Bank Holiday and of course, the weather was pretty miserable, overcast and drizzly, but reasonably warm. Husb and I were at a loose end and I’ve always wanted to walk up to the mythological lake Llyn y Fan Fach in the Bannau Brycheiniog. The lake is the site of one of Wales’ mostContinue reading “To The Legendary Lake: 1.”
Having A Rummage.
I was having a rummage through all my portfolios the other day, looking for something important that I never found – I’ve probably put it somewhere “safe” which means it’s on the other side of the Multiverse! But I discovered all sorts of things I’d forgotten about, including these 4 sheets of sturdy cotton ragContinue reading “Having A Rummage.”
Red Gelli
I spent a bit more time playing with a Gelli plate at Swansea Print Workshop this week, using a round plate, a bag that onions were in , Cranfield Safe-Wash Process Red relief ink and Extender onto offcuts of HoSho paper. I tend to use the Gelli plates to print papers for collage and chineContinue reading “Red Gelli”
Lemon Gelli
I was at Swansea Print Workshop this afternoon and I started working on a small circular Gelli-plate, laying down the first colour, which is Process Yellow, an intense lemon. I’m using Caligo Safe Wash Relief ink mixed 50:50 with Extender to increase translucency and the texture is created with a net that lemons were soldContinue reading “Lemon Gelli”
Inspired By The Dinner Party: Hatshepsut
I’ve hit a creative block! It happens. I’ve found that a useful way to deal with it is to do some technical exercises in my sketchbooks until I’m unblocked. I was having a bit of a reminisce and remembered going to see Judy Chicago’s Dinner Party in London way back when. I can’t remember whereContinue reading “Inspired By The Dinner Party: Hatshepsut”
#StandingStoneSunday : Pentre Ifan
Here’s one from the archives for #StandingStoneSunday. I can’t remember when I did this, probably around 10 years ago. I marbled some paper in my studio, in tones of grey and took some of it with me when Husb and I visited the spectacular Pentre Ifan monument in Pembrokeshire. I drew onto it with blocksContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday : Pentre Ifan”
From My Archives: Concertina Screenprint
Here’s a screenprinted concertina booklet I made in 2018, 2 years BC (Before Covid) at a weekend workshop with the inspirational Kelly Stewart. I used motifs from my collaborative project with Dewi Bowen and Melvyn Williams, Hunting The Wild Megalith. Kelly will be running another weekend of screenprinting at Swansea Print Workshop at the endContinue reading “From My Archives: Concertina Screenprint”
#StandingStoneSunday: A Favourite.
It’s #StandingStoneSunday again and I’m posting an old favourite, Y Garreg Coch (The Red Stone) in Carmarthenshire.
GrrrRR
Here’s the little Type arrangement printed up. I’ve been trying out different ink / paper combos and I think this is the best one for me. The ink is Cranfield Safe-Wash Relief, in Process Cyan and Process Magenta with a dab of Extender in the middle. The paper is HoSho, printed on the smooth sideContinue reading “GrrrRR”
