Teaching linocut printmaking

Karen has been learning printing from me. She has made some wonderful blocks & printed her first piece of fabric this week, which we were both very pleased with!

Printing the Gallery Cosmosis curtains

Today I hung the new curtains for the front windows of Gallery Cosmosis in the Byron Bay Arts & Industrial Estate. It has taken more about 3 weeks to hand print both sides of the 9 curtains using both lino block prints & a silk screened Lotus design. I am very pleased with the results! Now the gallery looks great from the outside as well as from the inside! Here are some pix of me printing the curtains in the studio, and the finished curtains hung.
