Ironbridge Fine Arts Gallery - Spring exhibition

I am demonstrating inking and printing using a 'Little Thumper' press at Wolverhampton Art Gallery - Saturday 13 November, 10.30-2.30

 I am demonstrating inking and printing using a 'Little Thumper' etching press, thanks to Ironbridge Fine Arts who are loaning it to me.  My own trusty Gunning press is rather big to move and transport but the Little Thumper is beautifully compact.

I will be upstairs in Wolverhampton Art Gallery from 10.30-2.30 if you would like to come and have a look.

Some people ask me why do I print?  In some ways it is more complicated because when you print from a printing plate onto paper the image is reversed.  You have to make your image on a plate (a piece of sheet metal, lino, perspex or wood), then apply ink to your plate, put it on the bed of the press, place paper on top of it and then crank it through the press.

Isn't painting more straightforward?

I will attempt to explain my love of printmaking on Saturday.
