May Flowers!

Spring Yellow

Gelatin Plate Monotype Print

So May is slipping away. I have been working on the farm too much and not much time in the studio having fun. I have had a couple of great workshops at the studio and at Essex Art Center in Lawrence. I am trying to finish up some prints for some local shows. And I am missing my play time it all seems like work this month. Hmmm?

I got an interesting call for enteries from A4 International Contemporary printmakers and another local call for artists to submit work to a new gallery in Newburyport, MA.

Great Day in the Studio

2010, Haverhill / Linda Germain / May 10, 2010

Five artists who call themselves, Confetti, came to the studio today to play with gelatin prints. It always amazes me how much I can learn when I am suppose to be the teacher. I love to let students learn by doing and they always think of new ways to create interesting images. With gelatin printmaking the possiblities do seem endless. We tried Daniel Smith inks, speedball inks, golden open acrylics, drawing paper, tracing paper, maps and newsprint. All in all, I think everyone had fun and created some interesting prints. They all left wanting to come back for more. Yippie!

Gelatin Plate Monotype Print

First friday is this week and I am planning on visiting several studios and galleries in the South End of Boston. I am usually inspired by such a trip. It is fun to see how other people work and display their work and interact with the public.

Serious Printmaking!

2010, foam plate printmaking / Linda Germain / May 2, 2010

Last week 4 artists gathered at my studio to make foam plate prints. Sandra and I look very serious in this photo but that is misleading. We had lots of fun We used wire mesh and spring steel to make printing plates. We printed on paper, wood and decorative papers to name a few. The process is quick, easy and non-toxic. Laura Dandaneau took time out from printmaking to take a few pictures. thanks Laura. Check out her photo blog and prints for sale at Red Bubble. Enjoy!
