We have a big heap of experimental prints that have been stuffed in a big box. Instead of throwing them away we thought it would be fun to make some collages. A sort of creative recycling. . . . . #printmaking #creativerecycling #recyclingart #sketchbookfun #slamseysinspiration #collage
Getting ready for a Fabric Printing workshop this morning. Equipment out, shortbread baked, backing cloths laid out (an interesting record of past classes) and just need to open the doors. . . . #printmaking #fabricprinting #textileprinting #printmakingclass #printmakingworkshop #learnprintmaking #learnprintmakinginuk #braintree #essex
A few flowers from a Sunday afternoon stroll. Makes me think I should start a nature table like we had in primary school. . . . #slamseysinspiration #wildflowers #farmlife
Melting some jelly plates that have been stored during the winter so they can be reformed in for a botanic jelly printing workshop on Friday . . . #jellyprinting #printmaking #slamseys #foreverfaffing
Patches of bright green nettles are springing up everywhere. Must make some nettle scones this weekend. Make30photos - Fill the frame with colour.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #make30photos #nettles #foraging #Slamseys
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
Simple jelly print using stencils cut from magazine cover and then embellished a little. . . . #jellyprint #printmaking #simpleprint
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.

Who's ready for Spring? I can't wait!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #throwback #tbt #jellyprint #handprinted #springprinting #loveprint #ukprintmaker #monoprnting #textiles #fabricprinting #gelliart #lovecolour
I've been busy scheduling new classes for Spring / Summer and thinking up some new ideas. Who fancies Flash Printing? A quick whizz through Drypoint Etching, Screen Printing & Reduction Linocut? https://buff.ly/2GPhBYz⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #printingtools #printmaker #printlife #ukprintmakers #printmaking #printmakerstudio #artiststudio #illustration #get_imprinted #justprintmaking #printmakersofinstagram #ukprintmaker #printmakers #printmakerforlife #printmakerartist #printmakersunite #printmakerslife #printmakingclass #printmakinglife #printmakingworkshop #printmakinglove #drypoint #etching #linocut #screenprint
I'm so lucky that I love what I do 💛 Teaching, making & creating every day! I'm excited about a couple of projects coming up this year - working with some schools, gift vouchers & hopefully some new online ventures too 🤗 ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #printmaker #printlife #ukprintmakers #printmaking #handmade #handprinted #printmakerstudio #artiststudio #illustration #get_imprinted #handmadeart #justprintmaking #womanprintmaker #printmakergallery #printmakerforlife #printmakerartist #printmakersunite #printmakerslife #printmakingclass #printmakinglife #printmakingworkshop #printmakinglove #workinprogress #whoneedsavalentine #thatslove #linocut #reliefprintmaking https://buff.ly/2WRw7Vr
