In 2012 I am hoping to spend two weeks making some bigger prints at http://www.artichokeprintmaking.com/
I am delighted to have won the Artichoke Award 2012 for my first three colour print "seven birds"
On Thursday 12 April I travelled down to the opening and prize giving http://www.8thminiprint.com/ London Print Studio for the 8th British Mini Print Exhibition; a touring exhibition organised by http://www.printmakerscouncil.com/ Information about the tour for 2012 -2014 can be found here.
I was a little nervous making my way to the exhibition by tube and arrived way too early and stood around for a bit marvelling at over 200 prints hanging in the space - eventually I launched into conversations with fellow exhibitors and I have to say it was a great night.
My old mate Gerry turned up and then Jayne another friend popped up by co-incidence. It felt like the start of a new creative adventure which will take me to Artichoke in Coldharbour Lane Brixton some time in the future - a world away from burnishing my prints by hand with a roller in my kitchen!
It will be fantastic to spend some time in London again & meet up with other artists,animators and designers. I am hatching plans to take advantage of the larger printing presses at Artichoke by upscaling my work.
Thanks to Margaret Ashman & the organising team at the Printmakers Council.
