NEWS FROM MOOR HALL STUDIO

Well it can only take a true friend to point out what an idiot I am for putting 2005 by a few of the new courses instead of 2025. Thanks Kev.

But no harm done as folk have still been booking for Matthew Harris, Amanda Clayton, Ruth Issett and myself.........so fear not, you will be attending these courses, next year, and not going back in time and space, in some mysterious kind of space ship.

Now some of you will be asking who is this Kev.......well I am not telling, but I have just done a recent order with Art Van Go. Hint hint!!!!!

Tetra Pack Printing with Chine Colle

We will be exploring intaglio printmaking by working into Tetra Pack packaging items using a variety of pointed tools and a scalpel to produce a number of prints on printmaking paper. We will also explore black or blue intaglio inking and add highlights of colour with layers of collaged paper via the process known as Chine Colle. This is a flexible and inexpensive technique that results in rich, textured prints.

Prints from an Ugandan Master Print-Maker

FRED MUTEBI

https://fredmutebi.wordpress.com/

I have in my possession some beautifully crafted prints made by Fred Mutebi from Southern Uganda. He is an amazing artist and his works depict the social and domestic life in Uganda, with many making a political statement.

These prints are all for sale so if you are looking for something that is extra special, and you enjoy art work from different cultures look no further.

Prices range from £75 for the smaller prints up to £400 for the larger prints. (sizes from 6" x 6" to 20" x 23") Prints are unframed.

Have a look at Fred's website as just a few of these are still for sale. See if there is anything there that you like and I can tell you if I have that one.

Here are some to give you an idea.
