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
