#openpressproject #printexchange I didn't get much done this weekend. First because I finally received the prints from Open Press Project in Koln, Germany. Each print is 7cm square...

I got a real surprise yesterday! My parents decided to drive all the way to Germany to see my little copperplate engraving that is part of the Open Print Exchange pop-up exhibition in Bottrop!

Der neue #openpressprintexchange läuft schon wieder und ich habe es noch nicht mal geschafft die Drucke vom letzten Jahr zu rahmen.

Die Druckdateien habe ich auf @printablescom hochgeladen.

Experimenting with tetra pack print for the Open Print Exchange. One did work out well, the other failed. I just started and it‘s so fun already!

I spent a chunk of my weekend 3D printing the small etching press released by the Open Press Project, to give to one of my kids who is studying traditional intaglio printing (and who has access to much more serious presses at school.)

I got an #openpressproject postcard press for Xmas. First time printing anything in decades. I prefer linocut and screen printing but this #tetrapak was kinda fun. Can’t mess up tho.

Happy Imbolc!

Spent some of Christmas day printmaking with Tetrapak and my tiny press from the Open Press Project. I bought it a few months ago when they had a sale of "seconds", but haven't used it much. Perfect for small scale work.

On the left, the tiny printing press. On the right, the Tetrapak printing plate with a wave design, blue from the ink. In the background, two finished prints.

Happy new year!

Four white squares of paper on a wooden floor. Each square has a motive printed in blue color. For example, one square shows Ferris, the mascot of rust. One square shows a snowman.

Tiny tetrapak drypoints on an Open Press Project roller press, first tiny steps! #drypoint #intaglio #OpenPressProject #printmaking
Two black and white line prints made from foiled card plates, which are shown side by side. They both show bottle ovens, bottle shaped chimneys which housed pottery kilns, in Stoke-on-Trent, UK. One (a landscape format image) is in the context of surrounding buildings with a road sweeping across the image, downhill from right to left. This one is a real location. The other is a made up, slightly crooked group of three with roughly sketched buildings either side. This one shows the tiny roller press, it has a light blue plastic 3-d printed frame, and is clamped to my desk. The long white press bed has a serrated underside, the teeth run through the mechanism when the handle is turned. On the press bed is the print of the made up group of three bottle kilns and its foil plate, and a white felt blanket is folded back over the top of the press. There are scissors, pens, a plie of various rolls of tape and packets at the back of the image.

Tried taking some better photos of my prints from Friday. Instead we now have a bluish tint to everything as I tried to use the last of the daylight 🤦🏽

She’s so hairy you can’t see her eyes An intaglio etching of random geometric shapes An intaglio etching of a very hair dog called Flossie portait. This was the first attempt so was faint.

Received my open print exchange prints this week. Really happy to be a part of this project. I added my print to the mix (bottom row, far right) to make it a full ten prints. #openprintexchange #openpressproject #printmaking
Nine small print exchange prints—plus mine at the end. Various subject matter and printmaking methods including relief, intaglio, and hand coloring. Prints are from the US, the UK, France, Germany, and Australia.

Happy to see my little #openprintexchange print on display in Ironbridge this month. It was in a little gallery in Lübeck a couple of months ago. They certainly travel!
I feel a day trip is in order to #theboltholestore sometime soon 😊

Round two on the mini press. Better calibration? Sort of. Printmaking is 90% troubleshooting material science, I swear.
