Once again the Studio Open Days were a great opportunity to meet up with people who have bought my work over the years, as well as new people with an interest in printmaking. It was a bit slow to start with and most people came in the afternoons on both weekends. I sold quite a lot of my work, but the calendars were a  huge success and sold out!

The printing demonstrations went much smoother this week, with Marcus confined to the kitchen as he had managed to put the mockers on it last week. To be fair, it wasn’t ALL his fault, I had tried to speed up the printing by heating up the acetate plate and had managed to melt it a bit….resulting in buckling the plate and some of the lines disappearing altogether! I secretly made a new plate and didn’t tell Marcus, so he was blissfully unaware as he ladled out the mulled wine, which was also a huge success and we ran out by 4pm!
