'A is for Aber' printmaking exhibition 13-29 August 2016, Aberystwyth University Old College

I was glad that I managed to visit this lovely exhibition of mini printsand that two of mine were included.  A wide range of interesting and high quality original prints created with different processes e.g. etchings, linoprints, woodcut and lithography.

The Printmaker's Cat - published in June 2015

The Printmaker's Cat - published by Mascot Media in June.  I have 6 of my prints in this new edition.  This is a sample of the text and a lino print of 'Cat licking its paw'. Linda Nevill has loved printmaking since she created her first etching 30 years ago. “I’d admired a wide range of printmakers since I studied History of Art at the University of Edinburgh in the 1980s, and eventually studied Fine Art Printmaking at the University of Wolverhampton in 2004.” Working from her Wolverhampton studio, she enjoys the “physicality of the mark-making and the excitement of the ‘reveal’ of printmaking”. Linda employs a range of printmaking methods, including etching, lino, collagraph and monotype, and she has used most of these when creating her cat prints.

Early weekend wake up for Wolverhampton yesterday

I wondered if anyone would get up yesterday morning as it was a very cold icy start to the day. Thick ice on the car windscreen. I was on the early shift at Bootstrap Artisans (artists and crafters' pop up shop co-op in Wolverhampton town centre) and there were people waiting outside the shop even before it opened!
It was a busy morning and it was good to see so many people wanting to buy original, handmade items rather than high street gifts.
One of my framed lino prints sold in the afternoon. My lino print cards of reindeer and Christmas cat are doing well too.
