One year at the Stratford Studio.
It has been a year at my Cozy Studio. We just had an open house and art show. Here are a few videos I took of the space. I am in the middle of editions. When an edition is completed, I will post the full edition. When I edition, they are all varied. I like …

I tried this this technique years and years ago. The prints were interesting. An American printmaker David Curles presented the technique at one of Keith Howard’s workshops back in 1997. I was initially disappointed with my attempt again last week. But it has a lot of fun potential. Definitely going to play with the idea …

Happy Days in Print Studio
I took lots of photos of what I am playing with in the Studio, so this blog entry is a very condensed version of the four days. I have about 10 maybes completed of “All In A Days Work” and I am moving on to start playing with two old ImagOn plates. So glad I …
Artist Printmaker Inking Reporting
I have had two wonderful days printing in the Print Studio. I am feeling very grateful the Nepean Creative Art Centre was allowed to reopen. Before lockdown I was working on an etching and had only proofed it before everything closed. So I pulled it out of my map drawer and started playing. Even before …
