Open Studios West Gippsland Sunday Nov 29

Sunday November 29 2015

On Sunday Nov 29, for this year’s Open studios West Gippsland event, I will demonstrate my linocut printmaking process using the press, Caligo safewash inks and some beautiful BFK Rives cotton rag paper.

Come and visit the studio and see how it’s done.

A collage made from my own linocut prints. This is a detail of the work in progress, with the finished piece being quite large, almost A1. It’s destined for the local Ficifolia Art Show coming up next month.
Homestead Slaughterhouse, linocut . This well proportioned building still stands in the town of Trafalgar in West Gippsland. The linocut is available on my website [link in bio], at my market stall at Warragul Arts Market and in Yarragon @campbellstreetemporium

Or at my Warragul Arts Market stall this Saturday morning.... image: rooster mono print from the January page.
Window, Farm building at Tarwin Lower. The place needs a bit of work but that only adds to the attraction for me. There is a snake in the greenhouse, a tyre swing needing mending, and leggy old geraniums clinging to life in what’s left of the kitchen garden.

The design on this old cabinet door, found in hard rubbish, was used as reference for a linocut when Meredith and Sandra visited the studio for a linocut print day. Swipe to see a couple of photos of them at work.
I’ve been meaning to post this linocut for a while. It seems to sum up summer holidays. It’s hard to stay in the studio when our beautiful garden echoes with birdsong. We are trimming grapevines, watering the pot plants and waiting for the fruit to ripen. Our neighbours share their fresh cucumbers.
