jonathan james collograph 06 by Sally Hanreck
this was my first ever attempt at printmaking. I built up the surface of a piece of cardboard by covering it with layers of pva glue. Once it had dried, I cut into the card with a stanley knife, removing all the areas which were to be the outlines. / Then I covered the whole thing in a thin layer of shellack, to seal it. after inking the entire surface, I rubbed it off using squares of newspaper, removing all ink except for that which settled in the incisions. the textured effect in the background was quite a lucky fluke. It ’s a result of the pva drying unevenly. I love how you never know what a print will look like until that first proof run!

CAT lino print by Sally Hanreck
lino print on brown paper This is my largest print, measuring about 50cm by 35cm. It was made by chiselling out a piece of Linoleum. / Unlike with the collograph, a lino print works backwards, removing all the areas I wished to remain white. In sucha large piece, this took quite a long time to achieve, adn there were several slips and injuries to fingers along the way! / the plate took me about 2 weeks to complete, and I still had no idea whether it would work until that first test run through the press! Working in reverse (as the image will be printed back to front) is quite triccky and confusing, and the first few runs through the press were disastrous!! Lots of fiddling about and adjusting pressures, trying different paper, colours, ... until finally i settled on the brown, rather textured surface. I dont’ knwo what else to say, but am happy to answer any questions you might have (o:

Tiger Woods by Estelle O'Brien
This is my second linocut – oil based ink on textured Japanese paper. I chose this special paper because it so suited the subject and the contrast of the black ink on the beige and silver paper really lent itself to different pressure in the hand burnishing to produce the shadow effects. I really enjoyed doing this one-I learned a lot from my first one. My design was influenced by BillyLee’s great Girl in a Landscape series. I am a big admirer of Billy’s work and love her attention to detail and the way she gets that dreamy feeling into her prints.
