I also have a couple of new images.  Unusually for me I have a London image - Cross Trail at Canary Wharf - in honour of the new rail track, as well as Feeling Sheepish - the dreadful tale of the wolf in sheep's clothing, the outcome of which we know only too well!

Goings-on at Whitsuntide

A three day weekend is coming up and we hope it will be sunny and bright so that you will come down to the South Bank and visit us in the Gallery.  Louise Hayward (our current Artist in Focus) and Theresa Pateman will be there on Saturday, Eileen St Julian Bown on Sunday and Martin Langford is sitting on Monday.  All will welcome you warmly and will be on hand to talk to you about the prints and processes.

Talking of processes, Ann Burnham has photographed the stages involved in the making of a rather gorgeous print.

 Rolling out the ink for the second colour of my new reduction linocut

Something to 'egg' you on!

Are you thinking of heading down to the Southbank in the next few days?  If so, bring the whole family along for a phantasmagorical Easter Egg Hunt!

 These tasty treats have been cunningly concealed in the shops and galleries and while you are getting your caffeine fix in one of the local watering holes, your kids will be having a riot tracking down the yummy chocolate rewards (with apologies to dentists everywhere) (it's only once a year)

We will welcome you to our Gallery where, apart from chocolate eggs we will also be offering our usual selection of wonderful hand-made prints.  You might be looking for something Spring-like?  In which case we have work by Libby Carreck, Ann Burnham and Lucie Green and many more cheery images to brighten up your home.

 .....and to those of you who are starting your Spring Cleaning (!) We have a wealth of work to adorn those newly painted walls.

Mainly, however, we would love to see you and hope you come down and enjoy a good day out!
