Hare

Visiting Bath today and the lovely Topping & Company bookshop -near the Abbey and the Roman Baths – I came across two fairly recently published volumes concerning hares, The Way of the Hare, Marianne Taylor (2017 Bloomsbury) and Raising Hare, Chloe Dalton (2024 Canongate). The first has a linocut print cover by Ian MacCulloch

a terrific printmaker who specialises in wildlife and seems to have a love for the hare. I feel I need to put far more effort into my series of hare masks! Not to mention my printmaking which is sadly neglected since the demise of Cato Press in 2020.

Hare Mask (4) 40x30cm, textile embellished and embroidered.

Linocut exercise

I have been reluctant to post this print as it seems er, gloomy but it was really an exercise in cutting away to get the thinest linocut lines and a lot of blank space and still get a print.

Cato Press

Another excellent evening at CATO Press community print night, the print is of a leopard. Lots of fun cutting and printing large lino-prints onto fabric, with more than a dozen people. This one had an extinction-rebellion theme. Check out the gallery for better pictures of events.
