My new Master Class Booklet 2

– “All that Glitters – can be gold”

has now been published.

Website price – £10 plus variable postage depending on region

(RRP – £12.00)

This Master Class booklet, ‘All that Glitters – can be gold’, follows on from my first booklet -‘All Cracked Up’ which features the fascinating product, craquelure, used predominately in ageing furniture or adding to stylish artefacts. I am pleased to say that booklet 1, which explains in details how I use craquelure on hand pulled prints, has proved very popular with artists and printmakers, who wish to take their own artwork in new innovative directions.

This second Master Class booklet, ‘All that Glitters -can be gold’, covers the exciting use of precious metal foils / leaves (gold, silver and copper) and mixed variegated metal foils. In the world of traditional hand pulled printing, the use of hand embellishing is not considered part of a printmaker’s repertoire but I have always blazed my own trail in my fascinating artistic journey through printmaking. If you have picked up this book, maybe that direction is something you too are interested in and wish to explore.

So, if this Master Class booklet serves to inspire you in your creative process, then maybe you are a fellow magpie wishing to add just a little glint to your work,
…. just that little bit of magic.

“Open up to beauty and wisdom, let the light in, it can be found in the most unlikely places”

Collagraph – a journey through texture.

Website price – £15 plus variable postage depending on region

(RRP – £16.99)

This comprehensive beautifully photographed book is a must for any one interested in collagraph and all aspects of relief printing.

This colourful book takes the reader on a comprehensive journey from simple plate making , printing on paper, fabric, printing from plastic and fabric, mono printing, blind embossing, to hand embellishing with many textured materials and the beautiful strong coloured multi coloured rubs, all described in simple terms and photographed throughout.

The later part of the book covers – How did she do that? – a breakdown of some complex Gallery pieces, Artist and Student show cases, useful addresses and contacts.

Another aspect of this printing book with a difference is the interlocking of thought provoking quotes, affirmation and esoteric information gathered together by artist Kim Major-George on her own spiritual artistic journey. This book has the added advantage of being not only a modern “printing with texture” Art book but also a book which will make the reader feel encouraged and valued.

“Come to the edge”, she said. They said, “we are afraid”. “Come to the edge”, she said. They came, she pushed them – and they flew.

Website price – £10 plus variable postage depending on region

(RRP-£12)

I have created the first of a set of four A5 Master Class booklets, each exploring a very different printing or finishing techniques that have become my speciality. The books consist of many project breakdowns and detailed accounts of how I achieved the end results, including unusual mounting methods.
These A5 booklets, printed in full colour with many unusual features, are ideal technical books, with a difference, for printmakers and artists wishing to explore mark making rarely seen in the world of hand pulled printmaking.

“Allow yourself to cross the frontiers between the known and the unknown, seizing the adventure and see your luminosity shine”.
