We created something last night. A crude but energetic three colour woodcut based on the belladonna plant. We took this design from digital artwork through hand tooling into the traditional additive multi-block woodcut technique. #print #woodcut #botany

Image is a graphic poster for the Sunny Bank Mills Print Festival 2026. Text on a dusty blue banner to the left of the poster says the name and dates of the event, alongside smaller text that says, β€˜A weekend celebrating the art of Printmaking including a Print Fair, Workshops and Artists’ Open Studios.’ The background is a reddish brown woodcut print by Bronte Adam, featuring a pair of birds sitting in a tree facing their beaks towards each other.

A flyer advertising the York Printmakers exhibition at City Screen, 13-17 Coney Street, York YO1 9QL. It is illustrated with four prints on the theme of 'Rivers of York'. It says the exhibition runs until 7th February but in fact that's the day it is taken down so it should say 6th February.

Update - in a change to the published dates the York Printmakers exhibition at the City Screen Picturehouse in York will be ending this FRIDAY, 6th February. (If you come to see it on Saturday morning all you will find is a bunch of harassed printmakers surrounded by bubblewrap and picture hooks).

From our COLOUR Calendar event by Sue Bradshaw. After exposing the cyanotype solution, Sue introduced colour by selectively applying washing soda.

Artists rethink monochrome processes and share.

Reading 'How to Live an Artful Life' by Katy Hessel, and attention drawn to artist Zoe Leonard's 1990s poem 'I want a president' - powerful.

An illustration depicting medieval peasants in a mob with a banner that says FUCK ICE SCUM

Like everyone else I’ve been watching the horrors unfold as emboldened fascists take to the streets and murder people. However seeing people band together and fight back has been heartening and that inspired this piece I drew up this weekend, depicting a good old fashioned peasants’ revolt.
