MATT BROWN AGAIN

Matt brown is the printmaker that inspired me to start making my first prints. I happened upon him giving a demonstration at a fair in one of the New England states ( can't remember which one now). I go to his website http://www.ooloopress.com/index3.html  and blog periodically to see what new prints he has created. He works with multiple blocks and on my last visit, I see that he is getting much more intricate with his technique.

ART HISTORY

The Metropolitan Museum of Art website has a wonderful timeline of art. Great reading. This link is to the blog on printmaking.

ART AND KIDS

I've been invited to help a friend's 5th grade class learn about print making. I've done this before and always enjoy the experience. I did three simple linocuts for them to print. I take my small press and they all get chance to make their own art. Really fun!!

WOODBLOCK PRINTING

Tug Boat Print shop creates fantastic original woodblock prints. Their website shows, step by step, the process they use to make these beautiful works of art. I am fascinated at the intricacy of the woodblocks.

SOLARPLATE

I have been working on a Solarplate etching the last few days. Solarplates are so much easier and safer than traditional acid etching. For this printing I drew on a clear plastic sheet. The copper plate is first exposed to the sun using an aquatint screen, then exposed again using the drawing. The plate is rinsed with water and then ready to be printed.
