The Wolverhampton Society of Artists' Centenary Book launch (August 19th 2019)

I was at the launch, in Wolverhampton’s Mayor’s Parlour, of Wolverhampton Society of Artists’ book which celebrates 100 years of this excellent society. The book features images of the art and details about each artist’s work. 

As a member of the Book Committee I worked with the team over about 18 months to get this book together. My particular responsibility was the text and it was fascinating to hear each artist’s different story. The photography is by Chris Manley, book layout and production by Anthony Clemson and project management by Neil Davies.

It’s a beautiful and fascinating book.

Making the etching print Borderlands...

Making and printing the Borderlands etching

Etching plate ready to etch.  The copper sulphate/saline solution will 'bite' the uncovered areas creating grooves and pits which will later hold ink.  The red 'ground' protects the rest of the metal.

The etching plate in the mordant (biting solution). You can see that the exposed areas of the plate turn black.

The finished plate

The metal plate then has ink rubbed into the grooves, it is placed on the etching plate,  damp paper is placed on top and then protected by newsprint and blankets, the star wheel is turned so the plate goes between the rollers and the print is created.

The finished print.
