It’s just a short walk along the farm track to find beautiful violets growing in the shade of the tree. My favourite spring flower. . . . #violets #wildflowers #slamseys #braintree #beautifulessex
Biscuits for today’s printmaking workshop at Slamseys. @madeleinehoward7 always called these Daddy’s Biscuits but if sandwiched together with butter icing they became Gypsy Creams. Either way, they taste good. . . . #printmaking #printmakingclass #biscuits🍪 #Slamseys

I spend a lot of time dreaming about being creative, rather than being creative... stuck in front of a screen trying to will myself to think of the next idea - sound familiar? I think this is something that a lot of people struggle with, so we've written something helpful! We've put together an e-book full of ideas to get you outside, looking at the world and working in your sketchbook. Some of our printmaking students have used it to come up with ideas for class, but it'll work for anyone who wants to bring a little creative practice into their day.

Ah spring colours to remind me that the sun will be back! Who doesn't love a bit of colourful drypoint etching with carborundum?! And to think, I used to only let my students print with black ink! 😲 ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #slamseys #herecomesspring #springcolour #printingplate #printingplates #intaglio #intaglioprint #printmaker #printlife #ukprintmakers #printmaking #print #art #intaglio #handmade #limitededition #artist #printmakerstudio #artiststudio #illustration #get_imprinted #handmadeart #justprintmaking printmakersofinstagram⠀ #ukprintmaker
Tools of the trade! Drypoint etching is a simple intaglio printmaking technique, similar to traditional etching. There are hundreds of ways to make, ink and wipe a plate and each printmaker will have their favourite. I really enjoy the process of scratching the plate, applying and wiping the ink to reveal the final print and getting into the swing of an edition - when it works it can be quite mindful and meditative. Anyone else use their creative practice for some mindful moments?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #slamseys #printmaking #drypoint #etching #intaglio #womanprintmaker #printmaker #inkyfingers #mindfulmoments #creativepractice #toolsofthetrade #printstudio #artiststudio #get_imprinted #ukprintmaker https://buff.ly/2y8NciW
