Perth Open Studios - up Crook of Devon way

Perth Open Studios has come around again and as referred to  in the previous post ......several  FDPW  members will be opening up their studios, sheds and shacks to the general public so its a good opportunity to finally get around to visiting.
First to mention is 'our Angela'  (aka Angela Heidemann) who is sharing her spot with a couple of her arty friends namely Karen Heriot (Jewellry) and Sylvia Breslin (Photography).  They will be located at "Eidon" which is located  in the Crook of Devon.

Warming up for Open studios (Perth Open Studios)

Me saying that some of the girls at the print workshop are 'warming up' for their open studios is a bit of a laugh really -  as in actual fact,  they are really working hard at getting prints finished and prepping artworks for their individual open studio events.  Thora Clyne  has been working on a lovely reduction lino print of a cat and a fish ...............its a good size about 45 x 45 cm I would estimate.  Heres a photo of the plate that I got Colin Beaumont to take with his mobile phone a couple of weeks ago.  She was still working away on it today.  Colin couldnt manage to get to the print workshop today because of flooding near his house or something along those lines ...we missed his company.

Collagraph Course FDPW Sep 2011

Caroline Paterson

Well firstly I must apologize for such a long spell without  a post BUT those of you who I encounter at the print workshop will be only too well aware that I have been ploughing away at making my artists book edition.  IF and it's a big if....I ever do another artists book edition - it will be an easier format , than that which I have opted for,  with this one..............

A few weeks back I asked Caroline Paterson to send me some jpgs because she was going to be exhibiting some works in the Forth Valley Open Studios along with Fiona Clasen, at Bridge of Allan, in the Trossachs.  Fiona works using pastels and of course Caroline was exhibiting collagraphs as illustrated below:

 Unfortunately I overlooked the posting and now it has 'been and gone' !!.  Once again to Caroline - my apologies.  I am particularly cross with myself as I like to support up and coming artists (as they say) and I remember admiring  her skills using collagraphy right from the beginning when she initially joined the workshop, following undertaking an introductory course with Colin Beaumont.
