 Showcasing all of the amazing work created by fellow LPW members over the last year.
It is a brilliant mix of techniques celebrating all things print! Join me at the launch event happening this Friday 24th November 2023, 6pm-10pm. FREE ENTRY @ Leicester Print Workshop. Leicester Print Workshop 50 St George Street Leicester LE1 1QG 0116 251 4174 [email protected]  I've been invited back to Primary in Nottingham to hold a session to grind the grains.
The heritage grains of wheat, barley, oats and rye were sown in spring during the 'Seed Sankalpa' event. This ritual took inspiration from ceremonies carried out by rural farming communities to honour the land and bless seeds and tools for the coming season of cultivation. The grain seeds were provided by Small Food Bakery and carry stories of seed sovereignty and biodiversity in farming. We have watched the grains growing throughout the summer, harvesting them in a gardening session on a hot August morning, and winter is here and we'll complete the cycle - saving some seed to plant again and using the rest to grind into flour and make rotla a traditional Gujarati flatbread, which we will share and eat together with artist made chutney. For details click the link here.  I've been invited to show my Inner Realms watercolour collage work at the LCB Depot during their 'ART' season.

Jo Dacombe and I will be re-presenting our live performance TIME & TIDE at the SOCK Gallery as part of Loughborough Lates and the LSA annual 2023 programme.
My Time & Tide series of prints which were created through a meditation on the wood grain of the block to be carved and responding to the grain of the wood. An embodied language of that material, a voice of the spirit of an ensouled thing. The performance leads us to consider the knowledge we have access to through our senses. We gently face the difficult questions that arise as the tide of climatic phenomena around us grow ever insistent. We listen, and we respond. Join us in a uniquely created space to reflect and connect to an essence of being human and part of all that is more than human. Two of the Time & Tide prints are part of the current LSA annual members show at the SOCK gallery, and you will be able to purchase copies of the IMMINENT zine which features the Red Tide print, which our performance is based on.

A day of art, music, food, and garden goodness for everyone, and it's all FREE. The programme kicks of at 11am and runs until 5pm. Fellow Leicestershire artist Jacqui Gallon has invited me to run Garden Mud(ras) sessions during an immersive two-day course set in a private woodland in the local Charnwood Forest. Being Wild: Art and Inclusivity Toolkit ( a two-day woodland based course) “There are no individuals in a forest, no separable events. The birds and the branch it sits on are a joint thing” (Richard Powers, Overstory). Curated by Jacqui Gallon and Dr Miffy Ryan This two-day series of workshops provides an immersive, performative experience in which participants are invited to collaborate. Several ‘toolkits’ will be introduced throughout the process, each comprising different strategies which facilitate artists’ and curators’ interaction with the natural and material world. The course will explore cutting edge methodologies that expand the field of art practice. These methodologies will incorporate strategies such as deep listening, participatory meditation based on the ancient practice of ‘Mudra‘; community building activities; walking and foraging; object making; action-based processes such as building, digging, mark making; utilising man-made, mediating materials; photography, video making; performative interventions in the landscape. The toolkit concept is tailored as a bespoke framework that participants can add to and apply when delivering their own workshops, performances, immersive experiences and practices. The course will enhance professional development, providing a foundation for practitioners interested in developing inclusivity and engagement in the arts within their own practice. Please note: The woodland site is only accessible over rough ground and is therefore is not suitable for wheelchair users. There is an indoor workspace, study area and toilet facilities a five minute walk from the site. Dates: Friday 28th and Saturday 29th July 2023 All enquiries regarding the course to Jacqui Gallon at [email protected]
