Hi All

I’m getting ahead of myself which is a good thing. I’ve been pretty quiet on social media not because the studio has been quiet – in fact, I’ve been extremely busy and for a little while I’m putting publicising what I do on the back burner. My priority is teaching and working in the print studio, not Instagram on Facebook. But don’t worry, the print studio is still here, still open, still running courses and still lovely.

As the days are getting colder, the underfloor heating is coming on a little more frequently and I’m lighting the fire a little more often, too. Very cosy.

There are a quite a few spaces left on next Friday’s all-day Linocut course on Friday 1 November, 10-4pm, all materials included, £65.

I’ve got a some Christmas Courses coming up for family and children:

· Origami Christmas Decorations - Family, Saturday, 2 November 19, Afternoon, 14.00-17.00, £15/£30

· Gel Plate Christmas Cards, Saturday, 23 November 19, Afternoon, 14.00-17.00, £15/£30

And some for the adults:

· Origami structures and Christmas Decorations, Friday, 8 November 19, Afternoon, 14.00-17.00, £30

· Lino Christmas Cards, Friday, 15 November 19, Afternoon, 14.00-17.00, £30

· Letterpress Christmas Cards, Friday, 22 November 19, Afternoon, 14.00-17.00, £30

At the end of November, I’m running courses at Tullie House (drypoint) and Higham Hall (monoprint), but I’m not sure if they are booked up. You’ll need to contact them direct as these are outside my jurisdiction.

I’m getting geared up for Christmas, working on a collaborative project involving letterpress. Very excited but I’m keeping schtum so you’ll have to come into the studio to see what we’ve been up to.

The six-session Photoshop Course is going well, and I’ve got another set running in May 2020.

The popular Artist’s Development Course is running from January 2020 and there are a few places left on this.

Just a reminder that I sell gift vouchers in various denominations if you want to treat a friend or family member.

I also do a 5% discount for group bookings of 2 or more people.

The Rembrandt and Turner exhibitions are on at Tullie House, an absolute must-see.

I think that’s all for now, the next newsletter will be out in January. Hope all stays well with you.

Best wishes
