I think Dawn said that this is a Columbian press?
I prefer one of the earlier versions but couldn’t photograph them as they were a layer below on the drying rack.
I work quite slowly but here you can see that the group managed to produce quite a large volume of work in the two hour session. Next week we are doing transfer printing. It is exciting trying out these different techniques and I can already see ways of using Lino printing with my enamels – always good to try something new, get out of my comfort zone (even get a bit messy)!
