I have 5 screenprints in my current show at the Open Eye Gallery in Edinburgh. On until the 24th October – you can visit online if you can’t get there in person – www.openeyegallery.co.uk
I first tried printmaking a few years ago at Edinburgh College of Art and was so excited that I could barely sleep the night before each class!
Early this year after trying a couple of access courses last autumn, I did some sessions at Edinburgh Printmakers new studios. What a wonderful environment to work in!
I wanted to see if I could work with some of my existing ink drawings, stripping the tones down further and then pumping them back full with colour and geometric form. The colours were matched to tones within my watercolour paintings.
I REALLY loved this process and the results. I think the final presentation which is float mounted on a charcoal board with a dark grey frame is perfect to set off the colours, thank to the advice from
Detail Framing Studio in Edinburgh!
