ART IN ACTION 2013
by Robin
I presume that the Facebook galleries that I set as references do actually work? Blogger doesn't seem to have a good gallery feature. The two sets of pictures below are taken from our recent and very hectic week at Art in Action, which is the annual gathering at Waterperry House in Oxfordshire of an invited crowd of artist/craftspeople from all forms of media. Last year we were in the woodcutting tent. This year we were pro/de-moted to the printmaking tent where we caused havoc among the masses by getting the rollers and blocks out and letting everyone have a go at making their own prints. By the end of each day we had between 50 and 100 new prints drying on the lines behind us, and had spread ink over every visitor who strayed inadvertently into the tent. Alongside us were old friends Ian Phillips and Laura Boswell, and also new colleagues: Julian Meredith (huge planks and whale prints), Sophie Layton (very contemporary monotypes) and Vladimir Vorobiev (coloured etchings). We had the huge loaned Albion Press in action and Vladimir was i/c the etching press, which he ran throughout the week.
If you don't know about Art in Action then you really have missed out. Take a look at this year's website HERE and make sure you go along next year.
