6 Improvised Structures

59highstreet — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 11:45:50 +0000

We’re getting ready for our Christmas open studio Saturdays, on the 10th and 17th of December. I’m making a new print at the Curwen Press next week – a series of six vignettes of pen and ink drawings made over the autumn. The print will be in 3 colours on a roughly A3 size sheet. It will be very reasonably priced.

Michelle also has new work and we also have a few fun v limited edition stocking filler ideas at pocket money prices. Not saying what – you’ll have to come and see.

Sorry… again. Long time without an update but in our defense we’ve had a busy Summer. Michelle’s exhibited in Aldeburgh and at the Fulham Palace Art Fair… she’s been working on a cover for Penguin Books, customising trainers for a new footwear brand and looking after her regular clients including The Globe & Mail in Toronto. I [Gareth] have been working on a new project for Reebok plus some other things I’m not allowed to talk about just yet. We also took delivery of an energetic puppy – Rozsa the Hungarian Vizsla.

Our next open studio days will be on Saturday the 10th and the 17th of December. We both have new work and will post a few teasers nearer the time. probably. In the meantime you can keep up to date with Michelle’s news here and Gareth’s here.
