Solarplate
Having attended Dan Weldens Solarplate course in Manchester a few weeks ago I have now had the chance to make some decent prints of the plates made during the course. Some newly added images from double plate versions.
WIRED
“WIRED” a series of five drypoint etchings executed on copper key plates with secondary colour plates in zinc. Numbers 2, 4 & 5 are two plate five colour prints. All are printed on Moulin De Gue paper.
Italian Portfolio
Portfolio – from ‘Portare’ – to carry & ‘Fogli’ – leaves or sheets.
A large carrying case or cover for keeping loose leaves, prints, leaves or maps together. A series or set of prints by an artist or group of artists presented in a protective box or folder.
Colophon
Colophon – (Ko-Lofon) – An inscription or device placed at the end of a book. Containing the title, printers name, date and place of printing. This final discrition fell into disuse as the title page became the principal means of identifying the book or edition.
New Glass
Recent glass making from 2009 – works made in the hot glass workshops of Graham Muir in Duns.
Local Gallery
Gallery of print images from locations close to home – in and around the Lothians.
Printer
A specialist technician or workshop which provides expertise on printing and on occassion collaborates with artists. The printer also performs the printing of an edition, after an agreed proof is authorised by the artist.
Old “Glassworks”
“Glassworks” was the name of the hot glass studio which ran from 1981 till 1990 – based first in Edinburgh City centre then at Eskmills in Musselburgh. It was a production workshop making functional ware such as wine glasses, scent bottles, vases, bowls etc. Alongside these exhibition and one-off pieces were also made.
Solar double
A pair of images created on zinc plates each one having a round drypoint image on – Solar I & Solar II. These were made to compliment the MDW series started at the Solarplate course which I attended recently. Now in proofing stage. And then there were three!
