Amazingly, with only a month and a half to go, the new organisers of Totterdown Arts Trail have decided to pull it all together, in an almighty effort, for the 20th and 21st November (no doubt there will be a haphazard element to the weekend, which is no new or bad thing). This arts…

New Hand Prints from the Garden Studio
My topic this term is combining line and painterly marks. I’ve managed to make some pretty large drypoints by hand- which involves quite a lot of muscle power, by the way- essentially my arms are replacing the pressure of a printing press!
