Saltburn Tramway Print

Some more Saltburn inspired prints, this time an image of some of the stained glass on the Saltburn Funicular Tramway. I also put some colour into my bookshop prints...

I finally started my dissertation practical!

Today after a lot of faffing and planning I started my letterpress experimentation, I think I will be printing the whole book using letterpress and screen printing on my images.

Saltburn Bookshop.

A new print hot off the press today! Inspired by a recent trip to Saltburn by the Sea, near Middlesborough. This was just printed in relief but I hope to print with the intaglio press another day. Patterned wallpaper is my newest collagraph discovery, I think it works really well here as the bricks.

Today I went to...
By Leaves We Live 2009: A celebration of artists' books and small presses

There were some amazing artists books there but my favourite (which I could not resist) was by Leonard Mc Dermid called a pocket guide to the sea. Every book he makes is typeset and letterpress printed by hand, and he uses lino cuts to illustrate some of the text. I think they are beautiful.

You can see (and purchase) some of his work here.
