Back from a 3 week visit to America....seeing daughters, daughters' partners, grandkids and paper making friends from way back.....

CUT:FOLD:TUCK:PRESS

The workshop at Lynne Blackwell's amazing print studio (a developing project that has taken many years of hard work ... is absolutely a gem)

These workshops start by concentrating on improving the participants accuracy skills that enable the finished pieces to have a professional look and quality....here's images of their finished projects.

Workshop up date

I have arranged to run a couple of previously successful workshops at Lynne Blackburn's great facility : the Essex Print Studio.

They have put in a lot of time and work to expanding their studio.

On the 27th October the 'Experimental Book Making - CUT, FOLD, TUCK, PRESS'.

This workshop will explore the making of creative book structures that can be adapted for current and future projects. There will be three projects to work on during the day which will concentrate on developing the attendees measuring, cutting, folding and making skills. 

And......on the 3rd November - back by popular demand.... BRIGHT & SHINY: experimental papermaking!!!

With a nod towards Christmas Mandy will introduce you to a selection of different techniques using a fusion of traditional Western and Japanese styles of paper sheet production. You will be able to experiment with  iridescent pigmentation (hence the ‘Bright & Shiny’ !); recycled pulps and you can even throw a handful of Christmas tree needles into the mix! You can take away your beautiful sheets of hand-made paper and use them for printing on or for making lovely, unique Christmas cards.
