Paper – Part 3: Storing Printmaking Papers (and answers to other questions you didn’t know you needed to know)

There are so many different aspects to paper. Beyond identifying what makes printmaking paper printmaking paper, there is storage, preparation, to-stretch-or-not-to-stretch, watermarks, pricing and a million other questions I haven’t even thought about yet. This article is Part 3 of a 4 part series looking at printmaking paper. The full 4 part series covers:

Paper – Part 2: My Favourite Printmaking Papers

So many papers to choose from. Different paper mills. Different textures, colours, fibres. What to choose and what to buy? Here I share with you the papers I use for different printmaking processes, and why.

Paper – Part 1: What is Printmaking Paper

I love paper! I love how it feels, and I especially love what you can do with it. I love deckled edges, handmade papers, machine-made, thin, thick, smooth, textured and toothy papers.

Sometimes we need a little (or a lot of) encouragement or a gentle reminder or love or swift injection of motivation … and as hard or as easy as it may be, I think sometimes that sentiment is best when come from Self.

Magpie Stories – the books

You’re not supposed to touch the prints … but you CAN touch books! I used non-editioned prints from the Magpie Stories reduction linocut series in a series of artist books. Each book the haptic realisation of intimate tales of each magpie story.

Magpie Stories – the prints

Magpies … people seem to either love them or hate them. Quintessentially Australian … an icon associated with many an Australian backyard and many a mad dash on a bicycle

3 Little Artist Book Projects

What do you do during that week between Christmas and New Year? Those 7 days of what I call ‘no-mans-land’ … when Santa has climbed down countless chimneys and we wait for that stay-up-past-midnight night to see in the new year.

We’re into the second week of Tara Leaver’s  #21daysinmyartworld challenge. The first week, covering days 1 through 7, was fun. It was very similar to the 2020 challenge, and lovely to revisit what I wrote last year. Here we run through days 8-14 …

21 days in my art world – 2021, Days 1-7

I did it last year, and I’m chuffed to be doing it again this year – Tara Leaver’s  #21daysinmyartworld challenge. The challenge is running in Instagram, and I’ll be adding each post to this page as my own collected record of the campaign.

Where did that bird fly?

What happens when you stop … when you stop to ponder a moment … or an encounter or a found treasure or a lost memory?

It was a Wild Wet and Woolly Sunday

Sunday was wild and wet. The first major weather event of the long anticipated la Nina weather system hovering overhead. So when the weather gets like this, there is only one thing to do … yep … you guessed it … gelatin plate monoprinting 🙂

Have Gel Plate Will Travel

After my initial surrendering to my mind and body screaming at me for some rest and respite … after some sleep and walking and reading and artist book making …

Surrender

Its no secret that this year has been nuts! I mean – strange, crazy, unexpected, scary, unprecedented (how many more times can we squeeze that word into 2020?), just crazy! And just like so many other people, I have had my own ups and downs as the year unfolded. As we’re edging closer to December […]

Ahh The Serenity … a new Printmaking Studio and Workshop Space

The Brutal Art of Slowing Down

Slow. Slow. Quick. Quick. Slow. 2018 is done. 2019 brings new hopes and printmaking adventures. I took some considered time-out yesterday to reflect on the year that was 2018. It was a great year, with challenges, wins, losses.

You are here – a new Reduction Linocut

We were headed for a warm and wet Autumn. Toward the end of March I was driving home to Maleny from Brisbane. Rain followed me up the Bruce Highway, along Steve Irwin Way, then up the hill from Landsborough toward home. I couldn’t resist the urge to detour along Mountain View Road to see if […]

Printing with Cyanotype on Eggshells!

A while ago I wrote about new adventures playing with cyanotype. While the colour range may be limited, what you can do with it is not! I saw a photo on Pinterest where Hannah Lamb had printed with the cyanotype process onto eggshells … I had to give it a go!

After Dark – preparing for a new printmaking exhibition

What happens in the rainforest once the sun has set? The night shift kicks in to gear at Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve with bioluminescent fungi, inquisitive marsupials, owls, moths and flying-foxes. And these are just some of the interesting ‘night shift’ plants and animals that inhabit the rainforest at night.

After the Rain – a new Reductive Linoprint

It’s late on a Sunday afternoon. It has been a warm and humid day. The summer rain has come and gone. The clouds hang low over the ridge and there is a feeling of cool respite from the heat of the day. After the rain. And that was the beginning of my latest reductive linoprint!

Artist Profile – Kim Herringe

Finding your passion, no matter what stage of life or age you are, is a special gift. It took me a long time to acknowledge how much I loved printmaking, and even longer to stand tall and proud and shout from the rooftops that I am a printmaker, and artist, and a teacher (of printmaking).

Playing with Cyanotype and Printmaking with the Sun

Cyanotype (aka sun prints) is fun! Spontaneous. Unpredictable. Experimental. Well, at least the way I do cyanoytpe it is!

The Art of Combining Passions … Printmaking and Teaching

I am passionate about 2 things … printmaking and teaching.

Creative, but […]

Gelatin Plate Printmaking Recipe

Monoprinting with gelatin plates is a helluva-lotta fun! The softness of the gelatin plates allows you to capture and print great detail in your artwork. When to comes to printing with gelatin plates, you have 2 options – either make your own, or buy them. I use both options! Below I share with you the […]

How to share a printmaking practice, in a book, away from the studio

How do you demonstrate printmaking practice and process to people viewing your work in a gallery space when you’re not there yourself? How do you make a personal connection with people interested in your work when you can’t be there to talk with them, about your practice or the work they are viewing? And how […]

Printing with the sunrise, rolling waves of ink, breathing

Oh it felt good to be back in the studio this morning. A 4am phone call to my husbands phone. Number not-recognised so not answered. The sun was only just starting to think about waking up. The rooster across the way making his morning presence known. I lay and listened to the birds come to […]

A Wife. A Carer. A Printmaker.

I have had an artist book idea bubbling inside my head, and heart, for a while now. It will be a letterpress and linoprint story about the new life I started 3 years ago … when I met the man of my dreams. My world was turned upside-down, inside-out and sideways … for all the […]

The Trials and Tribulations of reduction linoprinting

Lino printing is, in its own right, a relatively simple form of relief printmaking. Reduction linoprinting is a little more complex, but can also be quite simple once you understand the basics. I however, have a tendency to make this simple process complicated with a lot of detail and many layers. I started work on […]

To giclee print or not to giclee print? That is the question.

I have been asked many times over the past few months for ‘reprints’ of two of my favourite reductive lino prints – ‘Watching’ and ‘Ruffled Feathers’. ‘Watching’ has sold out, and ‘Ruffled Feathers’ is available only as a framed print from the Montville and Peace of Green galleries. So, to giclee print or not to […]

Image transfer to a lino block

This is a simple image transfer technique to get a photocopied or laserprinted black and white image to a lino block, ready to carve for printing. The printed image MUST be photocopied or laserprinted. NOT printed from an ink jet printer. Toner used in copiers and laser printers is fused to the surface of the […]

Printmaking Inspiration – William Rice

In any art or craft there are people who inspire and motivate us to improve our skills. There are many artists I continually reference – for ideas, skills, tips, inspiration.

My Favourite Linoprinting Tools

I love many different printmaking processes and media, but my favourite has to be working with, carving and printing lino. Lino printing is a form of Relief printmaking.

In Part 2 of this 3 part series I continue to share with you information prepared by the Maleny Printmakers and Sonja Georgeson that works to explain and demystify the art of Printmaking. In this article I share different types of printmaking; different printmaking methods. It is not a complete list, so if you think […]

Part 1: What is Printmaking?

Printmaking is a mystery to many people. It is a fine art form in its own right. Just like any other artform, it requires practice, patience, skill and persistence to master the craft. I am a proud member of the Maleny Printmakers. We are a small group local (Sunshine Coast) printmakers, promoting the beauty and […]

When is art too expensive or too cheap?

When you buy something from an artist, you’re buying more than an object (or a video, or a book, or a story). You are buying hundreds of hours of errors and experimentation. You’re buying years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You’re not buying just one thing, you are buying a piece of a […]

Why do we create?

The video above is a moment of me in absolute pure unadulterated creative bliss! Sanity. Now. Respite. Creativity in action. Clarity. Trust. My own art therapy. I believe that at heart every single one of us is creative. You don’t have to be able to draw or paint or play music to be ‘creative’. We […]

Monoprint versus Monotype

Monoprint versus Monotype. Argh! What is the difference? This is something that has confused me for years, but until now (I’m a little embarrassed to admit) I haven’t had the inclination to properly understand the difference. However, I have been invited to be a part of a postcard print exchange, and one of the printmaking […]

Ruffled Feathers … A new reduction linoprint

Finished … my latest piece is an 11 colour reduction linoprint, referenced from a photo I took years ago.

They ooze character. This […]

The Wise Elephant … prints on the Adana Letterpress

Oh what a glorious day! A whole day in the studio, printing. Today I FINALLY got to have a good play with my Adana 8×5 tabletop platen letterpress. I printed a poem written by a friend a few years ago (thank you Brendan!). Apparently the best way to learn is to make mistakes. Well today […]

Watching – A Completed Reduction Linoprint

Finished! A 7 colour reduction linoprint with hand-coloured eyes. I start each reduction lino print full of hope and anticipation that, while I know it will be challenging, I’ll love the process and be (hopefully) thrilled with the result. Then, as the image meanders through its processes, the love-hate relationship starts. With each new reduction […]

New reductive linoprint – Tawny mum and chick

New ink, new brayer, new paper – and so far – magic! I still have another reductive linoprint in progress, but I’m stuck on it, so I have started another image that has been waiting in the wings for a few months. I took this photo years ago and am now bringing it to life […]

New Collagraph plates to be made!

If seems that I am on a continual state or ‘preparing’ to print. Life is busy and finding the time and space to actually print has been tricky. That said, I do appreciate the time to at least prepare for my next print run. I’ve decided to prepare some collagraph plates. I found this beautiful […]

Chatter along the lines of letterpress

Hooray – my gorgeous new Adana 8×5 has arrived. After staring at it for a week, a little scared but terribly excited about it, today I printed! This is the first line of a poem I’ll print up as I practise on my press. My intention with this little beauty is to combine my linoprinting […]

Editioning Fine Art Prints

I’m a printmaker. I love printmaking. And I call myself an artist (it took me a number of years to build up the courage to say that out loud let alone type it for the world to read!). I produce hand printed fine art limited edition prints in a range of different printmaking mediums.

What was the trigger for my arts practice?

I was asked to speak on a panel of Printmakers at Arts Connect Inc “Artists Speak Out” last night in Maleny. I felt honoured to have been asked, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It gave me some time to reflect about my art, and why I am pursuing it; and is helping me step up […]
