My first small collages of 2010 were designed for, and mounted within one of the journals circulating between Kent artists as part of the Alturnertive 100 Journals Project.

This project is based on (and part of) the world-wide “1000 Journals Project”. It is a very simple idea… You get the book for 2 days to fill in a few pages (with anything they like..collage/painting/writing/drawing etc.) after 2 days you post it onto the next person on the list.

For further information please see the Alturnertive website at: http://alturnertive.com

The journals will be displayed at the Herbert Read Gallery, UCA, New Dover Road, Canterbury from Tuesday 16th – Saturday 20th February.

All artwork will be displayed in the main gallery space through October, as the evolutionary tree develops.

Printmaking mini-workshop

October 12, 2009 in art, workshop by mike

Our first printmaking taster workshop took place Saturday at the Charlton Art Centre, Dover. Visitors were able to experience and explore hand relief-printing techniques, from potato printing, mono-prints and linocuts. There was time to cut some lino blocks, using a selection of tools and environmentally friendly water-based emulsion inks, before pulling a short print edition with a small hand-press designed by German company Abig.

Below are two linocut prints created by John Rufus during the workshop (please click to enlarge).

Sponsored by Dover Town Council, the workshop was one in a series of community workshops being staged by the White Cliffs Creatives Guild in Dover through 2009.
