Stephen's Book Launch - Arnolfini bookshop - Bristol

Stephen’s book launch last Saturday evening at the Arnolfini was a great success. The queue for the book signing stretched out of the shop into the foyer where the walls were exploding with rubber stamp prints from his afternoon workshop. Stephen signed everyone’s book with his hand carved stamps and gave each person his complete undivided attention. The book almost sold out with only a few copies left. So pop into the Arnolfini bookshop soon to get your copy!

Linocut Prints by Corrine, Morgan, Dave & Sally

A wonderful morning sharing the studio with Corrine, Morgan, Dave and Sally. They produced some fab prints. Exploring different types of lino first to get a feel for the linocut tools, they then found images for inspiration and were completely absorbed in the process of carving and printing. Thanks to all for bringing lots of enthusiasm and laughter too!
