Screen printing with a stencil

So this is my first attempt at screen printing with a stencil since my visit to London to work with Dawn Dupree. I borrowed a screen, and cut a simple geometric image out of paper. This technique uses acrylic paint mixed with a printing medium. I think this will work out as more cost effective for me as I do a bit of printing and a bit of painting. Looking forward to seeing if it is as successful with linocut.

Tile decorating

I recently went down to Jackfield Tile Museum, Shropshire and had a go at tube-lining my own tile design onto this teapot stand for my grandmother's birthday
. I'm pretty pleased with the result.
