Following last month's post, I endeavoured to track down Sibyl Ruth and approached her with a view to using some of her poems to inspire artwork/prints for the Thame Arts and Literary Festival in June. More information to follow.....
Sibyl has very kindly given me the go ahead to produce work in response to her Great Aunt Rose's translated poems. Fantastic! Now the hard work begins!
I have booked myself onto a course over four weekends in April/May to hopefully gain some new techniques in collograph printing, run by Betty Ebanja of Oxford Printmakers. Should be fun....
All I have to do now is get my mangle converted into an intaglio printing press and I'm away!!
About Me
- jo abela
- Artist & printmaker. Having trained as a ceramicist in the early 90's, I spent several years producing and exhibiting decorative ceramics. Work was largely influenced by Romanesque architecture and reliqueries, but frequently included printed elements; either from decoration scraffitoed into plaster or cut into lino blocks and impressed into the clay. Printmaking became more of a focus having joined a group of artists and printmakers/book artists locally - 'Arts Cafe' and completeing a variety of workshops and artist led community projects. I have finally settled on Intaglio printing using a variety of techniques, though the main one being collograph printing, but also some lino-cut and drypoint. Contact Jo at pottyjo(at)hotmail.com
