Fortingall Art finished yesterday, and I took my first opportunity to see it, having decided on a last minute holiday before it was all printed and hung. Unfortunately for my viewing experience but not for our sales, the whole calendar print with all twelve blocks had been sold and picked up. This was great news for the Splinter Group and I did get to see, and photograph, an unframed print. It's an impressive piece of work, rich in detail and some well considered design, well done us. We're moving on with our wood engraving and it shows how the technique brings its own character to our diverse styles of mark making. We're planning a trip to Aberdeen Art Gallery for our next meeting to take a look at their wood engraving collection and to see the Ravilious exhibition there. They also have lots of Clare Leighton, who did many richly textured engravings for her own books on the living world, so it should be an inspiring visit.
