New press and RBSA Winter Exhibition
11 Feb 2008
Last week Birmingham Printmakers bought a very lightly used Bewick and Wilson etching press. This is a superbly engineered machine and is a fantastic addition to our facilities and will be greatly appreciated.
Here are a few pictures of the Bewick. Peter is the last owner and Carl and Anne are BPM members.
On till the 16th of this week is the RBSA Friends Winter exhibition which is well worth a visit over in the Jewellery Quarter.

Hi. Thought you might like to see a couple of images
(relating back to post of 28/8) of my current
woodcut. One shows the actual plate which l've been
gouging away on and the other is the resultant print.
This block will be the one l ink up last in the
sequence to provide the final and darkest colour on
top of the layers of colour. l may have to work
further on this design depending upon the colour
block (reduction) outcome. However l like this design
in it's own right and will print off a small edition
from this. l'm in the process of printing off the
first layer of colour from a second block, the result
of which l'll post in the next few days.
l was fortunate to have my Bristol Street etching selected for the current RBSA Friends exhibition, well worth a detour over to the Jewellery Quarter - and whilst at the private view on Thursday l was introduced to a fellow printmaker and a prizewinner at this show, Susan Steele, who is based up at the Ridware Arts Centre up in Staffordshire and which l hope to visit myself in the near future.
Apologies for the curving effect from my self-taken digital images - l hope to find out one day how to avoid this.

RBSA Prize Exhibition

I had a print accepted for the RBSA Prize Exhibition recently, and was delighted to win the Leo Honigsberger Prize for the entry. The photo shows me accepting my prize at the Private View from the Chancellor of Aston University, Sir Michael Bett.
The image below is the one which won the prize - From The Air #7, an intaglio and aquatint print.
