Collograph with Ruth Thomas

Again the perks of a studio manager saw me on a course with Ruth Thomas
Ruth Thomas is a contemporary artist specialising in printmaking, whose work reflects a fascination with natural forms. She came to Hot Bed Press and gave a fascinating workshop in Collograph Printmaking.




Its something I have practiced before but never with natural forms. So me and Benji went off into the garden and collected all kinds! Its amazing the detail that will show up. One of Ruth's prints involved dead spiders!



These are part of my Peru series I love the idea of working with natural elements to present natural landscapes.
