I made my first ever Vinyl cut Print!😊🖤
I’m not sure if this style has a name yet - but I’ll dub it “Speelgoed-Stijl”, because just like “Slaolie-Stijl” the Dutch always come up with the best names for Art Movements.😅
.
This is week 2 of a 5 week printmaking course I’m doing at the @camdenartscentre, and today we had a 2 hour Vinyl cutting session - that next week we will turn into a multi-colour print!
I’m experimenting with my ongoing “Wooden Toy Blocks” theme and am quite pleased with how this minimalist guy came out. This one was just a test print for 1 of the layers, so I’m really looking forward to adding a splash of colour next week and to physically build up the full image... (see what I did there?😉) I’m super excited as we’ll be mixing our own ink dyes and I’d love to experiment with some colour gradients!🔥
Having done Woodblock last week, it’s SO interesting to see how completely opposite ends / worlds apart that technique is from using a material like Vinyl cutting ... or paper cutting for that matter. 😉 But it’s always great to get out of your comfort zone and to keep making personal work! .
More next week - But for now, enjoy the visual of this bold yet minimalist black and white line-art one. 🖤😊

W.I.P ✂️ Swipe through to see the behind the scenes!
I did a miniature paper set for a pop-up project this Christmas, which was to teach kids all about foodbanks, why we need them, what you can donate and who ends up using them.
The pop-up store “The Giving Store: Shop for Others” was an initiative of @sainsburys and I was approached to create a miniature paper scene to help visualise & explain to kids what supermarket items you can donate.
The most needed products are: Grains like Rice & Oats, Pasta, Canned foods such as Fish, Meat, Fruit, Vegetables and Soup, Long Life Milk, Cleaning supplies & Toilet-paper, and of course Pads & Sanitary products!💗

This was a lovely and meaningful project to get to work on! Such a brilliant initiative to bring awareness and to introduce it to kids from a young age. 💪🏼
I hope this little visual is helpful to you too.
Next time you go to the supermarket, keep a look out for the Foodbank collection bin and donate ! 😉
