The Summer Exhibition is just a few weeks away, so what better to do on a rainy Thursday than finish off my BoxEd prints and start to think about what to enter into the exhibition itself. I thought I would make use of my new screen printing skills for the…
There is something undeniably special about giving yourself time to explore new processes when you’re a practising artist. I am interested in exploring a number of different processes as a form of opening my work up, hoping to develop in new processes. I began in January with the amazing Jule…
Where did January go? My first month as AIR has raced past – possibly due to having my trainers on for Jule’s turbo charged screen printing course! This has been an excellent introduction to the process and mechanics of screen printing with plenty of time for creating our own images….
It was so good to see such a massive crowd at the Ochre Christmas Party and I really appreciated your goodwill during my talk which wrapped up my residency at Ochre Print Studio. At the risk of repeating myself, it has been one of the most challenging, stimulating, knowledge-building, and…
We were lucky enough to have a critique in July with Ruth Barrett-Danes and she advised me to work more onto paper, perhaps in book form as my background is in Book Arts, and to collect some quotes from studio users. I wanted to add some text to my images,…
April seems to be the month for exhibitions: visiting, curating and exhibiting. It’s easy to feel too busy to take a day out and trek up to London to look at what’s new in some of the smaller avant-garde galleries or to appreciate the Picasso blockbuster show at Tate Modern….
Aprons at the ready! Following our first Critique from Ochre founder Julie Hoyle, I thought it would be good to show here what I’ve been working on so far. I am going to create a series of aprons, amongst other pieces, which celebrate the techniques offered at the studio, and…
Embarking on the new skill of screen printing in Adam Green’s February evening class at Ochre Print Studio has been an exciting and delightful experience. The studio has excellent screen printing facilities with large vacuum beds and plenty of drying rack space. The results produced after six weeks by everybody…
Hello, I’m working alongside Sarah as Artist in Residence at Ochre this year. My project is to document the studio and those who use it to create a body of work which celebrates it. My first month has been spent drawing, mainly with ink and pen to capture the space,…
I am completely new to Ochre Print Studio and delighted to have been offered one of the AIR positions this year. Thank you to everybody for such a warm welcome. I spent January familiarising myself with the impressive intaglio facilities and participated in Mai Osawa’s excellent drypoint course which she…
Kate is back in the studio😊Posted @withregram • @katealgerartist This is a handmade etching of Pewley Downs in the Surrey Hills.
.
We are so lucky to have all of this beautiful wild space on our doorstep. It was gifted to the people of Guildford just over a hundred years ago and is definitely one of the best presents ever.
.
The etching is one of just 50 and each one is slightly different due to the way that I apply and remove the ink to the metal plate each time.
.
The printing press is an absolute beauty. I think she was made before Pewley Downs were gifted, she weighs an absolute tonne and she'll give you one hell of a whack if you get in the way of her surprisingly long wooden arms.
.
I'm planning on working with her in the studio today. I'll be whispering to her politely as I hopefully put some pretty special finishing touches to one of my current projects...
.
If you'd like a Pewley Down etching, please get in touch for more info. They look pretty special when framed (scroll through my past posts to see one framed 40x50cm with a bespoke mount). Thank you and here's to the printing gods, the great outdoors and hugely generous gifts for future generations. @ Ochre Print Studio
