At Scarborough Art Gallery - 'Lasting Impressions' exhibition with the Printmakers Council, June 2017

One of my drypoint prints was exhibited in the 'Lasting Impressions' exhibition which  comprised work from the archive of the Printmakers Council, for which Scarborough Art Gallery is the repository.  

What an amazing selection of prints in this exhibition!

Drawing in a Walsall saddlery

I've been drawing in a Walsall saddlery to produce work for an 'Echoes' project run by Walsall Leather Museum.  It was a fascinating time gaining a glimpse into this small business.  The building was used as a leather horse collar workshop in the early 1800s but with the growth of other means of transport, this died out and it's fitting that a leather business continues to be in the same premises.
I'm wondering whether to create an etching or drypoint from my sketches.
