I have just finished reading "The Quest for
Charles Rennie Mackintosh" by John Cairney. I found myself back in
late Victorian Glasgow, Scotland, later with the Vienna Secessionists. "Toshie"
(as he was known to his friends) created extraordinary art work from the time
that he was 16 years old. His wife, Margaret McDonald Mackintosh worked with him
to design revolutionary interiors and paintings even before their marriage in
1900.
Roycroft
Renaissance Master Artisan Rendered directly from nature - garden flowers,
field flowers and other evocative images are carefully drawn. With brush and pen, the compositions are painted directly on the printing screens. Five, six or more screens may be prepared for the separate colors of each image. Rich, matte finish, saturated color is used to skillfully hand print each stencil onto 100% rag heavy, printing paper. The small editions are signed and numbered, ready for matting and framing.The Copper Shop Gallery continues to have many of my
prints on display. I have just started a blog. As well as making prints, teaching printmaking has been my joy. I am writing the blog to record my discoveries and to tell anyone who is interested how I go about making screen prints. http://www.roycroft-printmaker.blogspot.com/
