I also signed up for another fun creative community workshop at the #WellandCommunityOrchard legacy park & taking my friend, Cassidy, to it.
#Printmaking in the orchard 😊 On Aug. 11th.
We'll learn how to design, carve & use #linocut stamps & how to use natural materials from some of the wonderful fruit species around the orchard to make #collagraph prints. We will get to #design & #create our own #stamps based on inspiration from the orchard & then use it in combination with collagraph techniques to print a pretty tote bag to take home.

I don’t exhibit much these days, but I’m sharing a show in September and October with Patrick, the owner of this lovely little gallery in Thornton Village, Bradford. He and I share an interest in urban imagery, and so we’ve been planning this for a while. #printmaking #etching #collagraph #art
