​​Mono-Printing & Stamping

This style of printing I have used Acrylic paint and built up layers of designs/colours on a Gelli Plate.
Household items have been used to put patterns/textures into the paint/paper. I have handmade stamps also to add to the printing. See more information and other pieces I have made here

​​Pyrography

Wood Burning


Pyrography is how a design is put onto the wood. This craft has been done on timber since the Middle Ages when hot metal pokers were heated in a fire and then designs burnt into timber. Today hot wire is used. See more information and other pieces Janet have made here.

Pen and Ink
​Pictured is a vessel I handmade. The shape and construction is a reminiscent of small vessels etc made with Christmas/Birthday cards. The sections were then crocheted or Buttonhole Hand stitched together. This was very popular mid last century.
