EST 2015. ⚙ An informal group of #printmakers working in #York. Our work covers a wide range of subject matter and original #printmaking techniques.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came to @YorkPrintmakers #PrintFair this weekend. I’ve popped most prints back into my online shop. Full details are available on my website if you’d like to book one of my #linocut #workshops or online courses.

One of my customers asked if I would make a #SycamoreGap Tree print. This is the beginning. I’ve based it on a photo taken while I was there a few months before the tree was tragically felled. See the finished #linocut print @YorkPrintmakers Print Fair.

Playing with shades of purple. A blend of Hawthorn’s transparent stay-open inks. I’m using their transparent ink to make the colours lighter.

Who’s off to the Coast for the Bank holiday weekend? I’d love a paddle in the sea. Have a lovely, sun-filled weekend.

Has anyone seen any #Puffins this year? Friends visited the island of Staffa, near Mull & Ioana in Scotland, and said it was amazing. One for the holiday wish list! This #linocut print was inspired by a trip to the #FarneIslands in #Northumberland.

At this month's @YorkPrintmakers meeting the super talented Jen Dring demonstrated how to make Tetra Pak prints. It involves scratching lines into the inside of old cartons, inkling it up & printing using damp paper & a roller press. Have you ever tried it?

My Scarborough #linocut print is part of the @YorkPrintmakers exhibition at #Scarborough Hospital. I wonder if anyone from local will snap it up. Fingers crossed. Original prints are also available in my online shop. https://t.co/8xf0aSAuRt

These are the 4 lino blocks used to print my #Scarborough print. Carving all those tiny details in the buildings was tricky!
