7 enthusiastic attendees at the lino cutting/ card making workshop held on Tuesday 23rd February. We had a lovely range of prints made from cutting lino and printing by hand onto coloured card. The images ranged from a centurions head, poppies, oak leaves, flowers, sheep and a wren. I think it was a very successful afternoon and was a good introduction to printing using lino and without a press.

As we are coming up to Valentine's Day I thought that the most recent book I have just read at Chawton House Library would be very appropriate. It is called "A Lover's Week" by Mary Hearne. It details the seduction and elopement of Amaryllis and Philander. This has inspired another book idea, so watch out for this one at my end of residency exhibition.
