Last Friday saw Peacock return to Snug at The Anatomy Rooms for another printmaking workshop using everyone's favourite Danish modular building block system. We loaded our rollers with ink and used our portable press to make some fun and creative prints showcasing the versatility of printmaking.

We told you to go see this display, didn’t we? It was very cool to be there. Exciting, ephemeral and just a wee bit chilly. The only evidence of its existence is a few social media posts.

Today's blue skies are reminding us of the lush blue skies in 'Coastal Glimpses 2' by Frances Walker printed some 30 years ago at Peacock.
