PipeUp 2010

I came home the other night to find that the cat had eaten my homework (or my artwork, to be more precise).  Thankfully, I had already transferred the image to my deck, ready to paint up for PipeUp 2010 – the last ever Paperhorse Studios exhibition.  Come along and celebrate the end of an era with a fine collection of decks by a plethora of Australian and international artists.

Drypoint & photographs

As part of my marvellous plan to get creative again this year, I’ve decided to learn a little printmaking under the watchful eye of Simone Tippett at Union Street Studios, Stepney. I had my first introduction to drypoint today and am excited to admit that I feel naturally drawn to it. I look forward to a new, fruitful relationship with the medium. I’ll edit in a few photos from today’s workshop later on (hopefully) but for now an image of the first print is up on my 365 days blog.
