Raise a glass! It's Superb Owl Sunday. 🦉

🏺 This owl-fully cute terracotta drinking vessel is over 2,300 years old.

In Ancient Greece, owls represented Athena, goddess of wisdom, an association many still have with owls today. 💡

Detail from a terracotta drinking vessel. An ow's face peers at the viewer with wide eyes. A terracotta drinking vessel decorated with an owl, whose head is facing the viewer, standing between two olive branches. The small skyphos is a deep-bowled drinking cup with two horizontal handles.

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

Clever composition!
Colour, feather patterns and form wonderfully observed.

I’ve been terrible at posting on here, but here’s my latest reduction linocut of waders; a common ringed plover, dunlin, and sanderling:)

Lunch or Love? A new print for this month of romance. Let's face it it's a question that we all ask ourselves occasionally.

In the printmaking tradition, following in the footsteps of the likes of Edward Bawden, Tirzah Garwood and Enid Marx I've made a comical Cat print. handmadebyhaggy.etsy.com

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, ‘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.

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).
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.

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.
