DVD now available

COLLAGRAPH  A SCULPTURAL APPROACH TO PRINTMAKING DVD NOW AVAILABLE After a long silence, for which I apologise (again) I would like to announce  that my long-promised DVD is finally published.  When I started this project, I was blown away by how much detailed information could be imparted by my amazing high definition panasonic movie camera.  With no special lighting  the camera was able to go in very close on plates being inked up, prints being pulled, and  demonstrations of platemaking, showing every detail.  All the filming was done in the studio, either by me or my then assistants Nicola Jackson and  Dawn Cole,(Dawn has now left to go on to do more of her own thing).  The great advantage  of doing it ourselves, was that when something interesting was happening, we didn't have to  book a film crew, but simply whipped out the camera,and of course we could keep the cost  under control.  I won't win any prizes for smooth presenting, but I do feel that the DVD goes  a long way to showing how I approach my work, how to make collagraph plates,  and print them I have spent the last 4 years compiling the DVD which contains 16 short films and a slideshow of selected available prints, and which give an insight into the  processes which I employ to create my sculptural print works: collagraph, etching and  mixed-media. The construction and printing of collagraph and etching projects, interviews, courses, a  catalogue of selected available works, as well as practical studio demos, and print-making  tips, make this series of films of interest to the art lover, print collector, student, teacher  & printmaker. Towards the end I was lucky to find Kevin Law of Klaw Productions who helped me  brilliantly to pull it all together, levelling the sound, adjusting the music, and adding images  and text to make it more interesting and understandable.  He also insisted I redo all my many  voice-overs, because of the background hiss made by recording directly into the computer!!
