Welcome to the Print Shed

This is my new work area aptly named "The Print Shed" its great to have my own dedicated space for printing. You will also notice the Ping Pong table (for The Art of Ping Pong project) taking up quite a bit of the space as the Print Shed has a double use until the exhibition in November. I'm working on a few new prints including this one, "Sunburn" in time for The Big Crafty Summer Fair, which is Shetland Arts & Crafts summer show this year at the Shetland Museum & Archives, Lerwick 22-24 June 2012.

Saturday linocut

Saturday afternoon seems to be a good time for me turn some of my recent sketches into prints. I've been quietly working on quite a few test linocut prints in my spare time, the two shown below is a sneek peek at part of a set of new hand pressed linoprint gift cards. There is also a small linocut zine in the Saturday print works (BUT it might be a while until it's finished!). More sneek peekings of my work etc can be seen on Instagram (username: jonosandilands).
