    Printmaking  - etching and dry point engraving

    LOCATION:

    TAIRUA

    I have been a printmaker for  several  years  now,  having  previously  painted  in watercolours  and  pastels  as  a  member  of  Te  Aroha  Arts  Centre.    Something usually catches  my  eye  when  I’m  out  for  a  walk,  and  I’ll  take  a  photo,  take  it  back  to  my  studio  and  decide  which  plate  type  will  best  suit  my  subject.  Things evolve from there, and the  finished  result  is  often  different  to  what  I  originally  planned.    Most of  the actual  printing  is  carried  out  using  the  presses  at  the  Waikato  Society  of  Arts  print room,  where  I  meet  up  with  like-minded  printmakers  once  a  week.
