My things in the lovely Crafty Praxis, Huddersfield. I’ve not been doing a huge amount of art lately and have been focusing on jewellery instead.

Started putting an exhibition together for The Lawrence Batley Theatre “Luddities in Kirklees” exhibition. I’m finishing it off tomorrow! It’s such a gorgeous space!
Dinosaur drawings I did in second year and then forgot about!
Today’s the first day of setting up the exhibition, scary times! Then we have until Thursday to rearrange things and finish up.

Exposing screens is something I still think is magical. Like darkroom photography you watch an image appear out of the darkness. And that screen when it’s first made and hasn’t been stained with ink is a just beautiful.
I get too attached to my screens. But this is why I’m a printer, it brings me unrivalled joy.
I decided for my press pack hand in to make a hand silk screened press pack. It was a days extra work but I think it was worth it.
The tactility of my CV makes it more crafted, more cared about and speaks about the handcrafted, time taking, personal touch of the maker that craft entails.
I’ve started doing lots of work in CAD to do some digital prints. I’ve been merging my drawings with high resolution scans of textile work such as rag rugs, rug tufting, yarns, weaving and other things that relate to Huddersfield’s textile heritage. This is a comment on how Huddersfield stunning architecture was built on a strong textile industry. Because digital printing costs a lot I’ve been doing a lot of small paper maquettes.
I went on some walks around Huddersfield to take photos of my objects in various different places.
Experimenting with putting things in wine crates for a window display of isolated scenes of Huddersfield.
