Press Printing


I was lucky enough to go on a workshop after school tonight.

Set up for teachers and TA's.


the printing tile on the right and it printed on paper and fabric
 Run by artist Sue we had a go at Press Printing, it was great to do something crafty again.

Printed on black paper
We also had a go at weaving on card looms
Weaving
We used fabric, wool, beads, ribbon, tissue paper and plastic bags


I think I will be printing my Christmas cards next year, I really enjoyed doing it!

On the way to the workshop I had to stop to take some photos of the sunset at Hollingworth Lake.

I stood and watched the seagulls swooping and the ducks gliding.

seven swans a swimming
 The swans were swimming, than as I was about to get into my car when the geese flew in low, making a right racket and landed as one in on the lake.


It was a lovely 10 minutes, then I went on to have fun at the workshop.

  6. Those prints are great! Did you make the tile too? I did some card weaving a bit back. It's so simple and effective isn't it!

    Beautiful photos too. Very linear, you could almost weave them!
