Tetra-Pak Printing

I created a Tetra-Pak print, which uses an Oat Milk carton to make prints that can be printed at home. This print was based on The Weirs by the River Itchen in Winchester.

One of the final prints: this shows the Brazilian Giant Rhubarb with the river flowing underneath. Creating the print at home was a challenge due to how much you have to press down on the print for it to come out well.

One of the final prints, Printed in black ink on white paper, a scene including a Brazilian Giant Rhubarb with the flowing river underneath.

Linocut Tote Bag

As part of one of my roles, I helped run a workshop for linocut printing onto a tote bag. I created a repeating natural pattern for the bag. I have run and assisted multiple art workshops for adults, children and people with learning difficulties.

Book Binding - Sketchbook

As part of my drawing a day project, I have made some of my own sketchbook. Featured here are three sketchbooks I hand made using long stitch binding.

Three handmade sketchbooks stacked on top of each other; they have blue covers and are long stitch bound in multiple patterns in black thread.

Letterpress

I created a letterpress print in a workshop, it was wonderful to use this type of printmaking. Here and There is printed on top of a lino printed background.

Ink Monsters Workshop

I developed and ran a workshop based around 'Ink Monsters' where you place a drop of ink onto paper and blow through a straw so it makes a shape and turn that into monsters. This workshop was for younger children and they had great fun making the monsters. Here are a couple of examples I created myself.
