*PuddleDay*Press* - Unique hand pulled prints & products
.
Starting with a series of original drawings & paintings I experiment with colour, composition and different materials to resolve the direction each art piece will take.
I might create a woodblock or linocut if the image suggests a bolder, chunkier line.
Alternatively I will use copper sulphate etching on metal to develop the composition building layers of line, tone and texture.
My original drawing or painting is sometimes transferred chemically on to photopolymer etching, relief or lithographic plates. This helps to maintain the unique characteristics and freshness of my initial studies.
A variety of techniques are used to create the unique hand pulled, heat transfer printed products.
My aims with PuddleDay Press :
* to offer a collection of unique & very limited edition prints on paper and other products.
(My print are restricted to editions of 9)
* to provide information and educational resources for students and makers through www.puddledaypress.co.uk
*to run print workshops promoting printmaking and encouraging safer, more environmentally considerate studio practices.
* to continue to chart the progress of PuddleDay Press through my blog at www.puddledaypress.blogspot.com
The new PuddleDay Press website is currently a ‘work in progress’.
