Tuesday, July 07, 2015. Open Studios July 11-12th and July 25 - 26th. Once again, I am taking part in the Cambridge Open Studios this July. I am open weekends 2 and 4 and you are most welcome to visit me between 11am and 6pm on any of the four days. I will be engraving and at least one of the Albion presses will be working as we edition one of my blocks. I plan to work on this little chap that I started at the Hepworth Print Fair earlier this year:. Feel free to email me for directions. Do come along if ...

Wood Engraver: July 2013
http://studiodiary.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 02, 2013. The Old Owl House. This is a new engraving but it has had a long gestation. On my daily walks I can look out across a meadow and see an old owl house. It is tilted at a strange angle and is falling apart but I rather like it. I have thought about making an engraving of it for years but I could never quite see. I worked from a very rough sketch - just enough to give me the composition. I decided to do the work from memory, based on careful observation of the view on my walks. I gav...

Wood Engraver: March 2015

Tuesday, March 17, 2015. Earlier this year, I wrote briefly about visiting the "Gothic" exhibition at the British Library. And ended that piece with a sketch. Its time to pick up the threads of that post and finish the story. Here is the first sketch again:. Here is a more developed sketch, containing all the information I needed to engrave:. I make an engraving last year called Moonlit Amblin. Next, I started to draw the Gothic arch, enjoying an opportunity to use my imagination:. As it happened, I was ...

Tuesday, March 11, 2014. Peak District Prints Part 2. In the first of these two posts, I described the creation of a pair of engravings which featured wildlife in a Peak District setting - a landscape with a very different character from the low-lying flat lands in which I live. The third engraving follows a similar pattern. 3 A Peregrine On The Roaches. I added a silhouette of a second peregrine in the sky and, beyond the Roaches, I drew the shape of a separate hill called Hen Cloud. I consciously s...

Wood Engraver: August 2012
http://studiodiary.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 11, 2012. In Print - And A Coloured Engraving. I have enjoyed my collaborations with The Jericho Press. And so I was very pleased when another was proposed. I was intrigued when this commission proved to be not only a map but also a coloured map. I do not make multi-block coloured engravings but I do enjoy a challenge and so I decided to have a go. The map features parts of Lake Urmia whic is in itself a very interesting lake. At a very modest price. When the film of "The Woman In Black"...

Saturday, March 17, 2012. The studio has been cleared this week so that a new oak floor can be laid. There were just enough planks left over from other rooms and now the tatty old carpet has gone for ever:. The skirting board still needs to be fitted but things are coming back into the room; I'm trying to keep the floor as clear as possible so that I can enjoy the sense of space that the new floor gives me.
