We both love linoprints, especially the work of Fiona Humphrey and really enjoyed working with her in her studio last year.

The marks and textures found in her prints combined with such beautiful colour choices really inspire us to try harder with our own lino cutting, but we have quite some way to go before we reach her creativity! So I have to content myself with owning these two pieces of her work featured above. If you would like to see more of her linocuts or collagraphs then visit her website: www.fionahumphrey.com
Last week it was the turn of ITS students to try their hand at linocutting, using their own themes as inspiration.

They have also been busy working into their sketchbooks, this time it is the Federation Bells which are Joan's inspiration.
Fiona cut and painted some beautiful fungi. Her pages are still works in progress, so we can't wait to see how she is going to develop the idea.
And this is a piece of Gaynor's beautiful painted fabric. Doesn't it just make you want to reach for your thread stash and start stitching?
and of course, there was cake!
Each class Christine brings one of her wonderful homemade cakes in for us all to enjoy. Delicious with morning coffee or afternoon tea, and in turn we make a donation to her chosen charity, which this year is Macmillan Cancer Support
This week it was apple cake with cranberries, try the recipe here!
