Delighted that ‘We Are Stardust’ is currently on display in the Ironbridge Fine Arts 2025 Printmaking Competition, along with some illustrious company. The exhibition runs until 22 November.

Here’s what I made with the black wax - a gleeful wild boar. Maybe he’s hunting for truffles!

Mmmmm a slab of dark chocolate… sorry, no it’s black wax slightly warmed in the oven. Tune in later to see what I’ve been making with it…

‘This Cultural Life’ is one of my favourite radio programmes. Particularly enjoyed this one, listening to Jenny Saville talk about her life, work & influences.

The Dali tree, Embankment Gardens. That’s what I call it anyway!

Sounds perfect. Noble of you to buy the beer too 😊

Kate Willows @katewillowsart.bsky.social · 8d

Wow! That’s about half the price of my ‘cheap’ one (which itself is half the price of the normal ticket).

Wow! I thought it was a great movie - packed when I went, although it was a cheap Monday ticket price.

Third and final layer on ‘The Life & Times of the Bowhead Whale (268 Years)’. The lifespan of the bowhead whale is considered the longest of any mammal. Quite wonderful to think they have been swimming around our globe all that time.

And here’s a slightly different shade of blue, printed on cream instead of white.

Beautiful light today - ‘komorebi’ is the Japanese word for sunlight filtering through trees.

Come along to Bury St. Edmund’s print fair on 4 October, if you’re in the area! There will be 45 printmakers to visit, so plenty of prints to see and people to chat to about their work and the world of printmaking.
