Just some pictures from the course I recently did at West Yorkshire Print Workshop with the marvellous Neil Anderson.

Apart from getting stuck on the M62 for 5 hours after the course one Friday, it all went really well, with a great balance of structure and flexibility.  I felt I learnt a lot of new stuff, as well as improving and expanding on techniques I was already using.  I've done lots of courses and workshops there and they've all been great - I'd thoroughly recommend checking it out!

Week one - messing around with monoprints.  

Week 2 - etching basic lines and selective ink wiping

Week 3 - Developing the print with inking over the etching, adding monoprinted textures and chine colle (collage).

 

Week 4 - developing the etched plate with sugarlift technique

Week 5 - On hols in sunny Norfolk.  The others did screen printing.

Week 6 - Etched a new plate, inked and did a bit of experimenting.

Still lots that can be done with this, but pleased I had the discipline for once not to put too much information in!

 And now, a couple of photos of my garden looking rather lovely (even if I do say so myself) in our brief sunny spell
