Some wonderful news arrived after this years Print Day in May Event… it was my fourth year to participate in this fabulous international printmaking event .
I am so pleased to be one of only two winners in Australia to be gifted a Print Day in May Prize. Many thanks to Neil Wallace Printmaking supplies who awarded us with this Prize. It is both a surprise and wonderful to be sent our paper pack. This arrived at a perfect time.
It is interesting to say we have recently been experimenting with cardboard as a Matrix to print from Tetra Paks and Milk Cartons. This is what caught the eye of the staff at the art store and gave us the prize. So these prints are quite tiny and some are my sons school milk cartons and our kitchen discards are now being rescued. an environmentally good way to make prints!!
They do produce a clean line but long editions aren’t going to happen.
Below are a few other beautiful memories from the Print day in May event which was a lot of fun as always. I invited my students from over the previous year to print for free! I also invited a neighbour.
Everyone bought food for lunch and it was a real treat!
