Printing Workshop

This is work done in our printing skills days. Since the beginning of term we have spent a day each week in the skills areas; rotating each two weeks so that we have become familiar with each area. We are now on our last Photography day; after that the series of workshops are finished.

about the cube

Sculpture and Machine Shop workshops

The top two are plaster pieces, and there was another piece; a cast of a draining board, but that is not quite finished!
The wood and paper piece came about because I wanted to learn how to cut through a book with a band saw. I now know! Call this my eco piece!  I now have two less logs for my wood burner!
The bottom piece is approx 10" dia. It is made from a sheet of aluminium hammered and then sand blasted.  I think that I will be visiting that sand blaster again. (the shadow in the photo is supposed to be there!)
We are So, So, lucky to have access to all those machines.
 I also made a little perspex postcard shelf for my studio space, which desperately needs some organisation!
We will be in the print room for the next skills workshop.
For the rest of the time I am working on an essey on Minimalism which is a little up hill, though discovered a brilliant American review 'Bombsite'. You might need to subscribe.
I have also just stretched a canvas for a large painting...
