Plas Bodfa: Unus Multorum
Really pleased to be a part of this exhibition in a large house in Anglesey. Unfortunately due to the pandemic it can only be seen via the internet and not in person as originally intended but the organisers have done a fantastic job of documenting and publicising the show.

Monotype Prints
My latest works are all made using the technique of monotype, whereby inks are manipulated with roller, brush and solvents and printed in layers onto high quality paper. As such each print is unique and as much akin to painting as to printmaking, offering me the freedom and immediacy to improvise and explore the expressive potential of the medium.

Monotype at CPW
Date: 15th – 16th December 2018
Time: 10am – 4pm
fee: £100
Monotype is one of the simplest and most direct forms of printmaking. The process involves applying ink to a plate that is then printed onto dampened paper using an etching press. As its name suggests it is a one off process that yields unique printed artwork and as such is the closest printmaking comes to painting. Over the course of the two days participants will learn a number of monotype techniques such as printing with leaves and feathers, using a roller and 3 colour reduction monotype. This technique involves using 3 separate coloured designs brought together to produce stunning combinations of layered tone and hue.

Cyanotype and Photocopy Transfer
There are still places left for this weekend class. Book now to avoid disappointment:
CYANOTYPE AND PHOTOCOPY TRANSFER
20 – 21 October 2018
10am – 4pm
£100
Cyanotype is an antique photographic process distinctive for its Prussian blue monochrome prints. It was invented in the Victorian era but was quickly forgotten as photography improved, only surviving as a copying technique for documents and plans in the form of blueprints. Learn to mix and apply the chemicals to a variety of surfaces, expose objects and digital negatives, develop and tint the results.
The photocopy transfer workshop will explore the possibilities of collage using the technique of adhesive and solvent transfer transfer. Any printed material such as photocopies, magazines or newspaper may be used to create distinctive works of art on a variety of substrates.

This weekend I held a two day workshop at Cardiff Print Workshop. On Saturday the day was taken up by Cyanotype, a wonderfully simple form of alternative photography that produces vivid blue prints when exposed to ultra-violet light. Here at CPW we use a sun bed lamp but on Saturday we had a much stronger source of U.V. during this year’s summer heatwave!
Sunday we used copies generated from our new CPW laser printer to transfer images to wood, card, collage and fabric.

Etching Course this weekend
There are still 1 or 2 places left for this weekend’s etching course. The course is for Saturday and Sunday and will cover etching Zinc or Aluminium with Copper Sulphate solution. This is a much safer and environmentally sound way of etching, in contrast to using acids. For more information or to book please see the website:
