Marcelle Hanselaar

We were delighted that Marcelle Hanselaar was able to come along to the workshop for a couple of days and begin work on a stone. She was in Newcastle for the opening of her exhibition "Sticks and Stones" at the University Gallery & Baring Wing. The show opened on the 26th August and runs until the 1st Oct.

Northern Print / Matt Stokes

We have recently been collaborating on a project with Matt Stokes called "Dance Swine Dance." It is a diptych, single colour on both sheets, hand printed directly on Velin pur fil Johannot from positive working photoplates, published by Northern Print. You will be able to see it in their forthcoming exhibition from the 10th September - 6th November.

Contact Northern Print for more information, pricing & availability.

Matt Stokes is represented by Workplace Gallery, Gateshead & ZieherSmith, New York

Josie Dick: Toner fun

Josie Dick assisted in our workshop a couple of years ago and this summer she graduated from Newcastle University. We invited her in to the studio for a couple of days to experiment with toner powder, using similar methods as those she employed to create her degree show works. Josie made some new pieces directly on paper and also on ball grained aluminium litho plates.

The resulting works are on show at the Cluny Gallery.
31st August - 21st October

Lee Turner - Monotypes

In-between current contract and publishing projects I've been working on four monotypes as a commission for a client in the US. They are all 15" x 12" and are hand printed with a direct litho press on Fabriano Tiepolo.

Artists return: Ray Richardson

As you may remember back in May, Ray Richardson came and began working on a series of new prints with us. We were delighted that he was able to return last week to continue with the series. Seven two colour lithographs have been proofed and approved. You can see six of these hung on the line next to Ray.
