ATTENTION: BOYS AT WORK 
Last Thursday and Friday I was back                     again at the school where I've taught printmaking workshops                       for the past                     couple of Novembers and                     once again I marvelled at the boys' inventiveness and responsiveness.                     This time I took photos of some of their work which you can                     see here .                     Printmaking is always exciting and absorbing and there are                      invariably some amazing surprises, no matter how long                     you've been doing it. Another surprise was seeing                     in the reception hall a poster reproducing                     one of my self-portraits and                     advertising my presence at the school - cor blimey, am I                     famous? Are we there yet? I've asked for a copy of the poster,                     needless to say. 
A PLAN IS BREWING: ANYONE FOR                         ART? 
I've been thinking for a while about                     setting up an online studio/workshop to teach collagraph                     printmaking and other  processes (such as making an artist's                     book) where the use of a press is not essential.  This                     seems a good time to start planning it. People would need                     to sign up for a course and I'd have to charge a (reasonable)                     fee. I'd describe and illustrate procedures step by step,                     give assignments, suggest projects and materials and for                     those who are on this continent, we might organise occasional                     meetings.
What do y'all think  - would anyone                         be interested? If so, raise your hand and I'll go on                     from there.
MUCH MORE
