Dear Friends,
What a wonderful collection of prints!! I just love this variety of
perspectives and approaches to a simple situation like an OX!

Thanks to everyone who made prints and thanks to Carole and Julio for
posting them for us. I spent some time this morning sketching some of my
favourites.

Now I'll go and do my own OX print as my next experiment in my flooring
lino. Two people requested mine and I'm happy to send them to others (as
exchanges).

I've been hesitant to sign up for exchanges with time and space crowding me
a bit these days.

Thanks everyone! Always learning from all of you.

Oscar

Thanks for the ox prints, thanks Carole for uploading them so we can
all enjoy them. They are a great set of little prints. I have most
of them and they are indeed wonderful, thanks for all who have sent
one along they are little treasures.

Subject: Open Studio - First Weekend
Posted by: Andy English

This year's first Open Studio weekend was a very pleasant occasion with a steady stream of visitors and pleasing sales which, traditionally, go towards my purchase of printmaking paper for the next twelve months. The weather was beautiful, with the sun streaming in but not as hot as earlier in the week, when the rollers on one of my small Adana presses melted in the heat.



Inside the door, There was a wall of framed engravings, a browser containg the newly editioned prints from Freshly Picked and a folder of the engravings for Philip Pullman's A Outrance. This was followed by a group of sketchbooks to show how projects develop from the first pencil sketches to the final ink drawings:



The central table had wood engravings for sale in browsers:


Also on the central table was a disply of many of many of my engraved bookplates and some of the books that they have featured in:


At the far end, I was demonstrating engraving and carrying on with one of my current projects:


Moving through into the press room, there was another wall of framed engravings behind the smaller 1865 Albion Handpress:


The recently tidied shelves had small displays, including some of the engravings that I have made for wine labels:
