<br />
Varous plates were made, using plaster, collage and textures.<br />
<br />
Paint was applied liberally, then rubbed off ( I know!)<br />
<br />
Paint was left in the crevaces of the work and once this went through the press the image was pushed onto the prepped dampened paper.<br />
<br />
That is a very brief explanation - it's actually quite a long process, with loads of graft involved. The results achieved are beautiful though.<br />

I have recently been taught to operate a laser cutting machine which is has been great.<br />
The photo on the left shows my newly made <i>'Wooden Flower Brooch'</i>
which has an orange cotton background as seen through the wooden petals
and a brooch pin sewn into felt backing (brown).<br />

This little Papier Mache creation has been cut, moulded sewn, glued, stitched, printed, laser cut by me. She is wearing a screen printed dress with sewn trimmings and she has laser cut ears, hands and feet. She's a loving sort with arms and eyes wide open to the world. <br />

The good thing about screen printing is that you end up with endless bits of paper and you tend to think mmmm it's a shame to throw this away after after just spent so much time lovingly pulling each print. So I love to make new collages out of the random bits of work that don't quite work. <br />

<b>
Course sessions: Thursday evenings 7th - 28th November, 6-9pm </b><br />
<br />
<b>You don’t need to bring any materials to the sessions as paint
(water based acrylic), paper, screens, aprons and cleaning materials are
all provided, it’s just bring yourself.</b><br />
<br />
If you have done a bit of printing in the past but feel a bit rusty
then this could be a good refresher. If you've never stepped inside a
print room it's ok too! It’s a really friendly atmosphere and I’ll be
covering all the basics with technical advice throughout each evening.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPZ-HZ_a7IAuf7o102Rfd5F1lEqNa_xoq431W-BKIYDthMQ70ZAPohjHNNCXcQ7KuOcptoNpZjtMYkLFYZwgnHC14T4ej2OYfNL1ptQn40V2ubL_gEhycbrnsdZvXe8qiKWmWiGBtcyrq-/s1600/oct2013+025.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPZ-HZ_a7IAuf7o102Rfd5F1lEqNa_xoq431W-BKIYDthMQ70ZAPohjHNNCXcQ7KuOcptoNpZjtMYkLFYZwgnHC14T4ej2OYfNL1ptQn40V2ubL_gEhycbrnsdZvXe8qiKWmWiGBtcyrq-/s320/oct2013+025.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
If you have anything in particular you would like to print or ideas
you would like to discuss then we can chat about that on the first
session – it’s as much about what you’d like to learn too! You can be as
creative and experimental as you wish… and ask any questions along the
way.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
One of the aims is to enable you to feel confident enough to book the
studio to use on your own after the completion of the course.<br />
<br />
<b>For course prices and to book a place then please call the Bluecoat ticket and Information line on: 0151 702 5324</b><br />

Really useful to prop open doors, put on the end of book
shelves or indeed to just put on the shelf to look at. I have screen
printed my design onto heavy weight organic cotton using blue fabric
ink which has been heat fixed. <br />

The Kite Flyer my four colour screen print. </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> I designed this a long time ago and it's been hanging in mid air for a while as a lithograph. After a bit of a break from printing in general this is the image I decided to start with.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">My first session in the studio for ages and it was a nightmar<span style="font-size: small;">e.</span> <span style="font-size: small;">O</span>ne
where I came out with nothing at all - not a single thing! After lots
of messing with emulsion, drying, washing, exposing again in a crazy
cycle for four hours I managed to squeegee nothing at all. This happens
sometimes and you forget that it does, so when it does happen and the
print gremlins are at work it's easiest to go with it...then go home
scratching your head.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I
returned for another session which couldn't have been more different -
very productive...it' s the way the ink blows apparently and the
pictures below are the proof.</span><br />

</div>
<b>Recently made a Fiddle and a Button Accordion...</b><br />
<br />
<b>Both were designed and laser cut by me in my local makers studio - bit chuffed with these especially as it was a bit of an experiment. </b><br />
<br />
Absolutely loved making them and thinking of making some more for friends or perhaps music shops.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">I have an accordion which I have been learning to play for the last couple of years so that was the point of reference for me. These really are beautiful instruments...</span><br />
<br />
Took these photos of the instruments before I gave them to a musician friend of mine for his birthday.... Think he was pleased with the prezzie.<br />
<br />
They are actually quite small and can be held in the palm of your hand<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>They measure: </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Button box: width:7cm / height: 7.5cm / depth 4cm. (approx)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Fiddle: Height 10cm / </b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><b>width </b></span>5cm (approx)</b></span><br />

Currently modifying the designs a little to make them better...nothing too drastic as I think they are pretty sweet as they are.<br />
<br />
It's mainly the straps on the side of the accordion and the ones which you put over your shoulder that I didn't get round to incorporating. My brain was a bit tired, but I'm on it now! <br />

Getting reading to thread the machine the strange wooden spool holding the cotton reels at the ready, can get a bit messy and tangle - this is a methodical and slow sort of thing.<br />
<br />
Below is the machine threaded up. It's takes a while so steady...no sharp movements! <br />

<br />
The subject for the image was based on a photograph I took at an outdoor theatrical
event many years ago.... Lots of performance artists were dotted around a
beautifully lit wasteland area of the city where I live and one of the
performances happened to be a lady walking on a tight rope! Brilliant! <br />

My artwork is mounted onto a block of square spruce
wood letting the natural variants of the wood appear through my design -
making each block unique!<br />

Based on my original screen print I have reproduced the artwork onto
decal paper and then carefully placed this onto a hand sanded wooden
block - For extra protection the artwork has a coat of varnish - The
sides remain natural.<br />

In the end I exhibited nearly forty pieces of work which were displayed around the building. Beautiful architectural features...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It's been a long time since I've done anything like this and there was a ton of things to think about and do. Got there in the the end and apart from the odd hiccup (with couple of frames) it's been well received with loads of lovely comments from people and strangers! Oh the relief...tis done, out of my hands and on the wall!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">Second attempt at the lino printing, it's not as easy as it looks you know! </span> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"> I used acrylic paint combined with a block printing medium. The medium stops the acrylic from drying out and it certainly seemed to do the trick. Apparently the ink is supposed to be rolled out on glass, not sure why that it is - something to do with texture flatness of it? I've used paper as well to get rid of some of the excess ink.</span></div>
