making it round

I've just returned from sunny Wales  after a week of blissful fire circle building at Meriels wonderland. I cooked vegetarian food for all the builders and also when I could got stuck in ...We dug, we scraped, we chisled, sawed and hammered our way to creating the most beautiful fire circle using the techniques and guidance of Tony Wrench. A 5 foot round building with a reciprocal roof, finished with turf...this one wasn't designed for living in but the same priciples apply for the frame, adding a raised floor and straw bales, lime rendered walls..
.o o o it is such a magic thing building with other people, the connections you make, that time outdoors and the enjoyment of seeing and being inside what you have built together...o o o... we had a good fire blessing party the night we finished, it makes me dream I was back there...
i tried to narrow the pictures down, there are so many good ones...taken by Dan Jones and Elena Mila

Brighton Festival Open House 2013

This year for Brighton Festival I am exhibiting at the Open House of fellow printmaker Teresa Winchester. I hope you can make it to have a look at the new work I'm showing.

this is some new work in homage to 'bob' the tortoise shell butterfly who appeared in my bedroom at christmas last year...

experimenting with new ideas

my desk

roundhouse woodblock

This winter seems to be never ending! I feel as though we've all been on 'pause' like the buds on the trees and the daffodils in the garden waiting, still waiting, and more waiting to burst into new life, full of a refreshed energy after the hibernation of this long winter...warm weather and sunny skies will return (i think i heard it might even be t-shirt weather this weekend)!

I've spent time this winter creating new work, and experimenting with new ideas. Inspired by my visit to West Wales whilst on a Roundhouse course (led by Tony Wrench www.thatroundhouse.info/) I created this woodblock and lino print. It's very different from my detailed etchings but i love the bold line work you get with this medium. I've printed a limited edition of 30 available to buy.

Enjoy your sunny weekend everyone!

Chavez

My thoughts go out to all the people of Venezuela. I'm saddened to hear about the death of President Hugo Chavez who died yesterday at the young age of 58. I have much respect for him and what he did for his country, using oil revenue to boost education and health services and bringing many Venezuelans out of poverty,  how he spoke out against the US government and for his support of Cuba. His death is a sad event for the whole world. Peace to all.
