Hey welcome back to Fridays! Question time 😊

1) Do you own, or aspire to own, any art?

2) What is the most ridiculous hat on a man?

3) What three words would you use to describe your 2021? What three words are you manifesting to describe your 2022?

Hi!!! 💖

1. Yes, I own SO MUCH art to the point where I was running out of reasonable wall space in our last place. I have a lot of friends who are artists and have lived in some kind of hippy dippy communities before so I love supporting artists. One of my current favorites is Karin Rytter, she does a lot of linocut prints that are kind of spooky and interesting: https://www.etsy.com/shop/KarinRytterStudio

2. These ones. 💔

3. Oooooof. 2021 wasn’t great but I think we’re headed in a good direction. Maybe ‘transitory’? We moved like 800 miles and both started new jobs. For 2022 I think I’ll choose ‘home’ because we’re trying to find somewhere permanent to live and actually get some stability! 🤗

UNIT EIGHT- AUDIENCE/VISIBILITY: BIG FAMILY PRESS- INSPIRATION AND LINO CUTTING

The Medium Decision: 

I knew from the start of this project that I wanted to try and experiment with a different medium for the outcome. I knew I didn't want to do straight line drawings because, looking at the ones I had done in my sketchbook they seemed thin and unimpressive. I wanted to make punchy collage materials for my child. I decided on Lino relief printing because it would give a bold result which were easily cut-out-able for children and would give me something interesting to try since I’m not too familiar with the medium. 

Inspiration: Karin Rytter

Karin Rytter is a Scandinavian printmaker and illustrator. Her work is characterised by a combination of stylistic realism mixed with elements of storytelling. 

I was drawn to Rytters work because it seems to escape most of the bulky rough look I think Lino-cut outcomes have, which I personally find unattractive in my own work. In saying this however, her work still has the stylistic qualities associated with Lino to the extent that her work stands out from ink drawings. I am fascinated by the idea of making such fine detailed prints. 

The way Rytter carves foliage and flowers was one of my main inspirations for my work for the big family press outcome. You can see my work is clearly inspiredly her method in my pot of flowers image. 

This picture of a Lino block shows the extremely fine tools Rytter uses to make her work. I only have a cheap set of Lino cutters, but they were enough to do the job for my work. 

My Process

To start off with I took as many drawings as possible that I was happy with from my sketchbook and put them on photoshop. I then arranged them into a rough order to determine with ones I wanted to include and how big they needed to be. 

Once I had done this I printed off my rough layout sheet and used it to trace the drawings at the correct size onto my pieces of Lino. 

I then cut out the drawings into the right shapes so that I didn’t have to spend so much time cutting out the background. For pieces with a more detailed outline such as the carousel horse, I left some sections and carved them out later. 

This was the result: 

I tried multiple different arrangements: 

I then went to print them in the print studio, both on their own as well as in groups:

Scandinavian printmaker; lots of detail + movement; I identify with this as my style of illustration . . . considering exploring printmaking.

Pressing Matters — Issue 6

Pressing Matters have produced another epic issue of their independent magazine featuring another great list of designers, illustrators and printmakers. Printed by Park Communications on Edixion Offset paper, issue 6 takes the time to pose questions such as ‘how do they make paper?’ or ‘what is wood litho?’ – and the geekier the question, the more interesting the answer, it seems.

Founder and curator John Coe visited St Cuthberts Mill to witness their paper-making process and chat over the challenges they face in making paper that will withstand even the harshest of treatment in the hands of printmakers. “It’s great to see that both local and global communities are thriving – all championing their favoured techniques, whilst celebrating printmaking as a whole. It’s something we strive to echo in the magazine; community-led stories from the USA and South Wales, shared experiences of balancing parenting with printing, new spins on old techniques and everything in between.”

As (featured artist) John Pedder’s print so nicely puts it, ‘Knives are for creating, not destroying’ and we aspire to be a positive voice on all things inky, doing our bit to inspire and educate.

Issue Six featured artists/studios:

Ben Beach / Black Women of Print / BRED Design / Created in Slovakia / Danielle Creenaune / Marian Haf / Tessa Holmes / Molly Lemon / Anna Marrow / Off The Press Collective / John Pedder / The Printhaus / Samuel Rio Cuevas / Karin Rytter / Rachel Schlothan / John Simpson / Jo Stafford / St Cuthberts Mill / Supermundane / Andrew Wilson.

"You guys! I can hardly believe it, but I’ve worked so hard today, and managed to finish another harpy! (Or a redo of a previous one) I just love how you can piece together work time when carving, and have it add up to something substantial in the end 😄."

"Some blocks are somehow just way more work than others, and this one took some serious labour... but I’m happy with the result 😊."
