New artist | Sarah Pike

It was at The 2nd European Lithography Days 2012, Steindruck München Lithography Workshop, Münchner Künstlerhaus, Munich, Germany, 28 Aug - 3 Sept 2012, that we met Sarah Pike. Although it was becasue of The 7:th International Lithographic Symposium held in Tidaholm, Sweden from Monday, July 27 to Sunday, August 9 2015, that Sarah came to the UK.

After travelling around Scotland she crossed the border and came to Newcastle, for the better part of a week, before heading off to Sweden. In her time here we collaborated on three editions. The first was a lithograph printed in five colours, from one stone and one positive working photo litho plate. The second and third were relief prints, printed from CNC routed Valcromat (thanks to RASKL for the quick turn around), each printed in two colours.

Vandercook SP15

Simon Goode at the London Centre for Book Arts kindly put us in contact with Basil Head. Basil was able to supply the missing pieces for our Vandercook SP15 proofing press. Our assistant Paul Hughes cleaned up the two metal rollers in preparation of their arrival.

Peter J Evans | BALTIC

We've been collaborating on a couple of new lithographs with Peter J Evans which are being published by BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art. They'll be part of Pete's forthcoming solo show at BALTIC 39.

Below are a few pictures of the fun that we have been having along the way.

Lothar Götz | Monoprints

It was back in December 2014 when Lothar came back to the workshop. Over the course of a few days we collaborated on the elements for Correction and a series of 34 monoprints, Mirror Image. Below are images of the monoprints being created and also a couple of installation shots (courtesy of Domobaal) of the exhibition currently at Domobaal, until the end of August.

Waltzing Polly | Business Cards and Garment Tags

Here are some business cards and garment tags that we printed for Waltzing Polly. Pink was printed as dry roll flats on to 300 gsm white Somerset satin, which was then laminated, trimmed and letterpress printed on our 8 x 5 Adana. A final touch with corner rounding and a hole punched in the tags.
