It was wonderful to be back in my second studio home at the Grafische Werkplaats, Den Haag today! I spent yesterday completing the carving of my latest collagraph plate. This time I'm tackling some new bridges of the Netherlands! I had photographed this bridge last summer as it was finally unveiled after undergoing extensive preservation. No longer in use, De Hef bridge is a proud landmark in the gorgeous city of Rotterdam, Netherlands. Designed by Pieter Joosting in 1927 it is one of the few vertical lift bridges in the country. It replaced the older bridge that was destroyed by a German steamship. I found a great little silent film entitled, De Brug created by Joris Ivens that shows De Hef in it's glory, if you love old black and white I'm sure you will enjoy it. 

I am honored to be a part of the new [Print]maker Takeover blog on Atelier Indrukwekkend's site today. Take a moment to read all about my latest progress with denim printmaking and sustainability on their blog by clicking their logo. In addition, perhaps you will find an excellent workshop to join or event like the print swap to attend. Located in the heart of Delft, the Atelier is helping keep printmaking alive and well!

 I am thrilled to announce that I will be teaching a one day Collagraph printing workshop at Atelier In Druk Wekkend located in Delft, Netherlands on Saturday, October 7, 2017.
​Limited to 10 participants.
