🍋🍋🍋 My mum has a really good recipe for lemon squash and if you cut the sugar down a bit, it's so delicious and fresh, perfect for summer. I've already drunk one batch of it, but thinking maybe it's time to get hold of some more lemons! 🍋🍋🍋⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #slamseys #slamseysprint #printinginprogress #workinprogress #lemon #yellow #lemonsquash #homemadelemonade #screenprinting #printmaking #somethingyellow #lemonade #printmaker #ukprintmaker #artiststudio #lemons #summer

Anyone else on a big reading binge these days? I think I might need to pull back on how many lovely books I've been getting for the barn! The trouble is, print and art books are so inspiring: I've been learning about wood engraving, children's book illustrating (as well as cracking through the Harry Potter series - the perfect series for these challenging times). ⠀ >⠀ This one has been a favourite for a while - The Print & Pattern series are full of colourful pattern illustrations, so very cheery! Lots of inspiration for block printing, fabric printing and screen printing.⠀ >⠀ #bookrecommendation #whatamireading #bookshelf #inspiringreads #printandpattern #patternandprint #printpattern #surfacedesigntribe #surfacedesign #homewear #patternlicious #pattern #patternillustration #patternartist #textiledesign #textileart #textiles #fabricwallpaper #surfacepattern #natureillustration #printmaking #blockprinting #linoprint

Something for Spring! This four colour reduction linocut took some practice and patience, but it was worth the perseverance @anniemwheaton! ⠀ >⠀ Reduction lino can be tricky to get your head around and (annoyingly for me) requires a lot of precision and accuracy to line the layers up...not my strong suit! Some tips that I've found to be useful are using an oil based (but water soluble ink) like @hawthorn_printmaker Stay Open inks or @cranfieldcolours Caligo Safewash, as this gives you more time with inking and placing, and the layers of ink tend to sit on top of each other much better than basic waterbased block printing inks.⠀ >⠀ Also using a very good registration jig / guide / system really helps to get the paper and the plate where you want it. I usually fashion something out of cardboard, but Ternes Burton tabs are a wonder to use (I'm just about to put my order in with @handprinteduk) or you can be like @laura_boswell_printmaker and get yourself set up with a fancy registration frame.... either way, it will certainly be worth the investment when your prints come out all perfect and neat!⠀ >>⠀ I'll cover reduction lino in the two day Beginners Linocut course once I reopen & I'll have lots more tips and ideas for you in class!⠀ >⠀ #slamseys #slamseysprinting #essexprint #essexprinting #printmaking #printinginprogress #hawthornstayopen #caligosafewash #linocut #linoprinting #iris #floralprint #daisyprint #springtime #womanprintmaker #ukprintmaker #createeveryday #livecreatively #wipsandblooms #forweverfaffing #stylingmycreativity #creativelifehappylife #createmakeshare #reliefprintmaking #printmakerstudio #printmakingclass #printmakinglife #printmakingworkshop #printmakinglove #handmadeart

I'm making the most of this beautiful spring sunshine to update the photos for the website.. even though there are no workshops scheduled at the moment! Once I do reopen the doors, I've got a few new classes up my sleeve, including Letterpress, Collagraph, Jigsaw Lino & Collage - so gutted I haven't be able to run them yet this year 😐⠀ >⠀ Make sure you're subscribed to the newsletter, as I'll be emailing new dates once I have them.⠀ >⠀ #slamseys #printmaking #slamseysprintmaking #letterpresslove #artiststudio #printinginprogress #printmakerstudio #livingcovidaloca #printingplates #collage #collagraph #linocut
