Lino workshop with Erin, St Ives Sloop

Heron- gull Lino print using Erin’s sustainable ‘Pick Pretty Paints’ inks.

What can be better than a week in St Ives with the fam all back together? Well, that’s a September morning spent with Erin (booked through airbnb) at her studio in the Sloop making Lino cuts with my lovely girl Amelia. It was hard work to get the image cut in the time - even using using Erin’s amazing Pfeil cutters - but we both managed to make something lovely to take home as a memento of our time in St Ives.

Erin was very generous with her time and resources - pointing out how Mark Herald uses medallions to create composite images. Erin’s side hustle is selling her fab inks that are sustainable and totally safe to use on a number of applications. We came away with a bag full of lovely colours for future projects :) but will surely make a return visit if we are in the area again.
