Finished & now available - this is Estuary Flood Tide, a reduction linocut in ten layers from an initial ink drawing direct to lino. Details on my website www.lauraboswell.co.uk #womeninprint #lauraboswellprintmaker #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #reliefprint#printmakerscorner #reductionlinocut

Thank you!

I’m nearly there with this linocut- it’s been interesting working direct to the lino rather than making a drawing first. #womeninprint #lauraboswellprintmaker #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #reliefprint#printmakerscorner #printexhibition

Thought I would set myself a @printfestulverston challenge to work directly drawing onto the lino with pen and inks. We live on an estuary and sometimes it’s hard to spot land from water..: #penandinkillustration #lauraboswellprintmaker #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #reliefprint#printmakerscorner

There we are - summer beach. This is one of my favourite local beaches - Rockcliffe- and a wonderful place for walking. #lauraboswell. #womeninprint #lauraboswellprintmaker #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #reliefprint#printmakerscorner

Another couple of layers on my summer print of Rockcliffe Beach #womeninprint #lauraboswellprintmaker #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #reliefprint#printmakerscorner

I’m done with the clouds now - they were painted onto the lino and cut around, printing with barely-there ink #womeninprint #lauraboswellprintmaker #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #reliefprint#printmakerscorner

Another layer of very thin ink to start adding depth. These are oil based inks #lauraboswell. #womeninprint #lauraboswellprintmaker #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #printmaker

"Played Out," alternatively titled "Intermission," a circa 1937-38 print by Philadelphia-based African-American artist Dox Thrash, one of most gifted printmakers in the US in the 20th century, whose work should be much better known. From current exhibition at Gonzaga University's Jundt Art Museum

Here’s an older mokuhanga print of mine - the texture is achieved by coating the paper with size several times to make it hard for the pigments to penetrate. This is a big print 78x34cm #makingajapanesewoodblockprint #mokuhanga #japanesewoodblock #waterbasedwoodblock #woodblockprinting #mokuhanga

Today I thought I’d share a little woodcut pendant I cut and inked to fit a brass frame Mr B made for me #woodblockjewellery #mokuhangamagic #woodcuts #lauraboswell#womeninprint #lauraboswellprintmaker #printmaking

This is a caustic etched linocut ‘Waterfall’ on heavy handmade washi. It’s a reduction print combining layers of etching and cutting. #causticetching #caustic_soda #lauraboswellprintmaker #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #printmaker #womenprintmakers
