THANK YOU FRANCESCA! 😍

Thanks! I was pleased with how the colour turned out, it's one I mixed myself.

Aw thank you!

A linocut of fungi against the night sky. Printed in a dark emerald green. The print is hanging to dry on a wall mounted rack

New print on the drying rack!

Bundle of 6 greetings cards printed using designs by printmaker Vicki Jordan.

New product!

My greetings cards are always popular at markets but they've not been so economical to buy online, due to the postage.

So I've put together a couple of card bundles: 6 different greetings cards based on my designs, and a choice of two options.

Picture shows the Mabon segment on my ‘Wheel of the Year’ linocut, with apples and falling autumn leaves.

#MabonBlessings #Mabon #Mabon2025 #AutumnEquinox #WheelOfTheYear #printmaking #printsky #linocut

Unlike the other Sabbats, Mabon doesn't have a direct line to pre-Christian festivals & traditions. It was only in the 20th century that Mabon became associated with the Autumn Equinox, by Wiccan author & scholar Aiden Kelly.

Picture shows a section of a circular linocut in black & white. Shown is an eighth of the circle, the Mabon section of the Wheel of the Year linocut by Vicki Jordan. With apples and falling autumn leaves, and the word Mabon carved above.

🍂🧡MABON BLESSINGS 🧡🍂

Today is Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, in the Northern Hemisphere. A time of balance, where day & night are of equal length.

It marks the second harvest - a time for thanksgiving and stock-taking.

Image shows the front cover of a 2026 calendar by Vicki Jordan. The front cover image is a linocut of the Wheel of the Year. Also visible is part of the back cover, which shows some of the other linocuts that illustrate this calendar.

Time to get a calendar for next year? I always get a calendar around now, as we start to get appointments & events rolling into the New Year.

So maybe you'd like one of my calendars?! Following the Wheel of the Year with a selection of my linocuts.

Poster for "The Torrs Collective on Tour" Dates are 25th to 31st August, 10.30am to 4pm. At the Gatehouse gift shop, Haddon Hall, Bakewell Derbyshire. The poster is dark blue with white text, featuring The Torrs Collective logo (a linocut of pebbles in a circle, by Vicki Jordan) plus three example artists' work (a pencil drawing of a red squirrel by Kate Priestman, a monotype print of leaves in yellow and green by Mandy Collins, and a textile piece in yellows and purples by Annie Greatorex.)

Me and #TheTorrsCollective are in residence at the #HaddonHall Gatehouse shop this week!
Haddon is a beautiful place and well worth a visit - and if you do visit, do pop into the Gatehouse and say hi 😊

Paintings, print, glass, sculpture, textiles & more.

Afraid not, but I'd be interested to know if you do find a solution!

Hand holding 4 wooden pin badges - one of a bright sunflower, one of a stylised peacock fanning his tail, one of Three Hares chasing each other in a circle, and one of two holding hands, with the words 'Safe with me' against a background of the trans flag colours.

New pin badges now on my Etsy! Well actually the Three Hares is a restock, but the other 3 designs are new.

The 'Safe with me' one isn't my usual aesthetic but I really wanted this design as a badge. I'll be making a donation to Safe Space High Peak for each of these sold.

Image shows a linocut of the Nearly There Trees, just off the A30 on the way down to Cornwall. The copse of trees is on top of the hill, with the road curving in the foreground.

'Nearly There' is now available on both my own shop & my Etsy.

Cookworthy Knapp, aka the 'Nearly There Trees' or 'Nearly Home Trees', original linocut.

Unfortunately this is of a local building and it definitely will be noticeable if it's mirrored! I'm thinking I might be able to cut out and recarve the offending bit.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

Nearing the end of carving a tricky little block, when my husband says:
"Isn't that the wrong way round?"

I forgot to flip the image before carving. I'm an idiot.

Honestly, I could've cried.

What are UK folk that use 2nd class postage planning to do after 28/7 (when RM are reducing the service to alternate days)? I'm not sure that customers will accept the longer delivery times so I'm prob going to change all my orders to Tracked48, and I'll have to absorb the extra cost.

Thanks!

Question for #printmakers on here: one of my brayers (Essdee black handled) has developed a very annoying squeak when rolling, to the extent that I can't cope with using it! Which is a shame as I really like that one. Anyone know of a trick to remove the squeak?! 🤞

Thank you!

Oh thank you, that's a lovely thing to say!

Linocut image of a copse of trees on a hill, with a road in the foreground. Depicting the 'Nearly There Trees' on the Devon / Cornwall border.

Cookworthy Knapp, a.k.a. the 'Nearly There Trees' or the 'Nearly Home Trees'. A familiar sight to folk travelling down to Cornwall!

I'm pretty pleased with this linocut but I'm not convinced that the sky is right.

Image shows an inked up lino block on the left, and the printed image on the right. The image is of a peace dove, surrounded by leaves and branches, and is printed in powder blue ink.

A little block and its print. This one is for #DovesForPeace4 and will be auctioned in aid of @warchilduk.bsky.social.

I'm in love with the ink colour - Powder Blue from #CranfieldColours. I'm not normally a pastelly person but I adore this one.

Aw thank you, hope she's pleased!
