New UK sea life creature on the press today! These beautiful creatures can be found around the UK coast! I’d love to see one. This print is of ‘Hippocampus gluttulatus’ or the ‘Spiny seahorse’ or the ‘Longsnouted seahorse’ depending on who’s naming it.

Two years ago I created this print installation, ‘Within These Walls’, for a field barn at Grassington Festival. It is #NationalMeadowsDay so it is fitting to revisit a subject that I’m working with again. Inspired by our endangered upland meadows, the collagraph, monotype & block print hangings are a celebration of our beautiful, culturally important & ecologically crucial meadows. It’s sad that we have lost so many of them but hopeful to see projects across the country that are working with landowners, farmers & communities to restore & protect them.

Willie Cole’s flattened ironing boards make remarkable printing plates when run through a press. The resulting “Beauties” are poetic and moving. Named for women in his family and cultural figures, they evoke memories and histories that rarely appear in fine art.

The priming (ground) of etching. More details on a website in the profile
It helps to protect the plate from oxidation during its storage. A waxy acid-resist, known as a ground, is applied to a metal plate. To apply hard ground, the plate to be etched is placed upon a hot-plate (~70 °C) a kind of metal worktop that is heated up. The ground is spread over the plate. Once applied the etching plate is removed from the hot-plate and allтowed to cool which hardens the ground. After the ground has hardened the artist "smokes" the plate, applying the flame to the plate to darken the ground and make it easier to see what parts of the plate are exposed.

Грунтовка офорта. Подробности на сайте, ссылка в профиле
Этот этап необходим для защиты пластины от окисления на время её хранения. Для нанесения твердого грунта на печатную пластину, её подогревают на металлическом листе (~70 °C), который греется от плиты. Расплавленный грунт равномерно распределяют по поверхности. Пластину снимают с плиты и дают ей время остыть, чтобы грунт мог "схватиться". После чего пластину коптят горелкой от чего грунт становится темным. Это помогает определить участки пластины которые остались незагрунтованными.
