l've gouged out the design for what will be the first colour stage in my current 'Planespotting' woodcut.




The next three images are the above plate printed in three different colours and overprinted in black with the final plate which l showed in the previous post. It's amazing to see the transformative process that takes place when layers of pattern and colour interact and an image comes to life.



l think these work in their own right but l shall create another plate which will be printed up after the initial colour and before the last plate in order to give a second colour and another outcome.

Birmingham Printmakers still appear to be heading for a departure from Lee Bank Business Centre before the end of the year as there appears to be no viable way of meeting the full business rate rents that we would face once Council subsidising support is withdrawn. We are urgently looking for alternative spaces in the city.

BPM are represented in the Council House and in Victoria Square, Birmingham over the weekend of Sept 16/17 as part of the Artsfest event.


so you can meet printmakers in the flesh!
