Making Friday: CMYK lino printing
I’ve had a really extended Making Friday in July, spending every Saturday at Warren Editions learning the art of CMYK lino printing from master printmaker Zhané Warren and head of relief prints, Morné Visagie.

Heath Finds
I’m back from my travels, and working through the millions of pics I took in LA, North Adams and NYC, but I’ve started with editing the pics from a real highlight, which was the Skinny laMinx / Heath Finds pop-up at Heath Ceramics on 20 June. The Heath Ceramics LA showroom is a very impressive, high ceilinged …
