Another sunday and more beautiful work from our visitors as Ellie Chaney led a drop-in Block printing workshop.
Working on small blocks of soft lino our visitors made highly detailed bookplate designs reflecting Ellie's interest in the flora and fauna in the land around the cottage.There was a sense of effort and anticipation rewarded every time the small, high-contrast prints emerged fresh from between the blankets and plates of the in-house Bookpress.
"Had a wonderful couple of hours learning to use lino cutting tools & printing the results.
Ellie and John were so helpful, patient and made me feel that I could really achieve something.
Such good fun and would definitely recommend coming down & experiencing their workshops. Looking forward to the next one."
We'll be following this session up in the autumn so look out for an announcement..
