We’ve just got back from holiday, staying with friends in
France.
It was very hot so we spent as much time as possible in the
shade but I did do some work in Mary’s atelier. I’d bought an X cut die cutting
machine in the sale a while ago and I’ve been reading about its use as a printing press so I decided to take it
with me and do some experimenting.
It printed collagraphs reasonably, though it couldn’t deal
with some of the depth of texture. I think at some later date I’ll have a go
with lightly etched plate and relief printing.
There was an email waiting when I got back letting me know that the
exhibition date for the lockout book is
the 5th of October. However the deadline for photographs for the
catalogue is the 1st September. I need to do some serious sewing.
