What Time? 8am, 12pm & 4pm.

The earth is coming to life again, the magnolias, cherry blossoms and camelias are abundant down here in the southeast of England! Just beautiful.

Hi there Thanks for popping in. If there are two arty things I love – apart from pottery and printmaking – it’s our Overlay stamps and our Embedders. If you’re into lino-cutting or monoprinting, then you will know just how closely related our two innovations are to the world of printmaking.
