Following the passing of my great friend, teacher and inspiration Brian I thought the best way to continue all he was to me would be to show the world. Therefore whilst at his funeral I asked his son, an artist friend of his and a shopping centre if they were all up for building another popup printshop.<br />
The popup gallery in Keighley had been a great success and I thought that Brian's presses mixed with my workings of the shop (ie type, galleys, compositing sticks etc) and artwork from his friend at Skipton museum (Helen) would be a fitting tribute to a great guy.<br />
Everyone pulled together and I spent three days filling the fiesta with type trays and stuff I would need from the shop in Haworth and building up the project in Craven Court Skipton.<br />
It has been a great success with people from far and wide coming in to take advantage of the machines, learning some traditional letterpress to make their own cards and invites and lino cutting with Diana from the Artistic off-license (the Keighley popup gallery) and Helen.<br />
So much of a success that our six weeks starting August 1st is still going on and though we have to move cos our vibrant space has encouraged another shop to take on our unit we have been asked to move a couple of doors down and brighten up another empty unit.<br />
I would love to see more folk coming in and using what we have built and I am keeping busy with the school posters which are starting to become quite popular... The more I do the interest they are getting.<br />
So that is my quick update so you don't think I fell off the end of the world :)<br />
Hope to see you all soon and remember it can't exist if folk don't support/use it and that would be a shame as it is such great fun.<br />
See ya there the eh?<br />

<br />
This week I have been quellewed (made up word) with the task of making a label for a very hot sauce. This 'Fire Water' is a chilli sauce made by Pudsey Pickles and sold in a limited run for the 'Little Heroes' charity with something special to label it up with. In come Oldfield Press. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qr3mAQzFT_s/UXpFlfhlYLI/AAAAAAAAAsA/tg9NuFtwxTQ/s1600/stuff+115.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qr3mAQzFT_s/UXpFlfhlYLI/AAAAAAAAAsA/tg9NuFtwxTQ/s320/stuff+115.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
I actually did this twice. The first block took me the first day but at the end of it, even with the obvious changes that need 'making I felt it could do better' (as the old school reports said).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nBK2RQboiW0/UXpFygBQZEI/AAAAAAAAAsI/rpICyMTqWhU/s1600/stuff+116.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nBK2RQboiW0/UXpFygBQZEI/AAAAAAAAAsI/rpICyMTqWhU/s320/stuff+116.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
So I didn't diss (not a made up word) the first attempt, I just started again.<br />
I now have more small 6pt and 8pt type out that I am worried I won't get it all back in the right drawers...<br />
<br />
<br />
Note self; get organised. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sVhR5UszwBM/UXpFc0XmsTI/AAAAAAAAArw/jwKbeJ5q2Js/s1600/stuff+112.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sVhR5UszwBM/UXpFc0XmsTI/AAAAAAAAArw/jwKbeJ5q2Js/s320/stuff+112.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />

<br />
I am glad the I spent the extra time though as I think the new label is streets ahead. Big thanks to Brian again as the blocks he has loaned me really do make the difference.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uwij49Ssztw/UXpFhCu0ZrI/AAAAAAAAAr4/vYBAz9qVV1Y/s1600/stuff+114.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uwij49Ssztw/UXpFhCu0ZrI/AAAAAAAAAr4/vYBAz9qVV1Y/s320/stuff+114.jpg" width="240" /></a> <br />
<br />
The flames, the swirls and all the rest really add to my collection and open up what we can do using the old standards.<br />
<br />
So now to finish up and sort that missing 'i', oh and though it seems like as tongue twister to me 'Vinegar' has to go before 'Salt' ....??... I know but thats the EU for you :)<br />

I thought I could possibly kill two birds with one stone here and pay homage to that 'time' aswell as maybe prepare for the future (what with the way things are...).</div>

Being a letterpress shop I had to try and capture the iconic look of authority without setting it out on the computer and then making the plate. No... I went back in time myself and stood in the shoes of the printers who did for a living. I used a 36pt font for the title and went all the way to 6pt for the extra info... </div>
<div>
I could've done with shrinking down aswell as travelling through time. My eyes still can't focus on owt bigger than an owl.... Sorry its a dog...</div>

The 'Ration Book'. <span style="line-height: 1.6em;">I remember taking my Grandmas ration book to school for 'war week' along with a gas mask in a tin. I don't know where it is now but I can still see it in my head. I can also find a copy of it on the internet which was great to remind me of the kind of type that was used. We might not be that far off having this kind of thing reissued either.. (what with things the way they are).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 1.6em;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 1.6em;">I added to the Haworth stamp to maybe remind people of here too.. Y'know like a a postcard.</span><br />

I hope you like the reminder if it was just taking it to school with the gas mask in the tin or maybe even had one yourself and I hope that it is a true touch back to the traditional printing methods used.</div>

Oh no, infact quite the opposite. I have been mowed out.<br />
In February I did a series of bespoke 'Valentines' cards. Which was great practise on the presses but not the best business plan as they take so long to make.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lpSFu4WHCg0/UWQvTm4PbTI/AAAAAAAAAqg/ir-1K2FtjrQ/s1600/stuff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lpSFu4WHCg0/UWQvTm4PbTI/AAAAAAAAAqg/ir-1K2FtjrQ/s320/stuff.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
Start of the year I was thinking how are we going to keep going and then I did the 'Mothers Day' cards. They sold like hot cakes straight away and as there were only 25 made I thought it would be worth doing a second run and a new design. Again limited to 25 on these runs they sold out fast.<br />
Then we got people in to use and learn on the letterpress aswell. Making their own cards in the shop and making some great use of the press.<br />
<br />

<br />
I started and am still working on a wedding invite for a couple who are getting married in the woods in Scotland and I borrowed a wonderful tray of ornaments from my mate Brian. Full of borders and decorations. I am still finding ace small leaves, symbols and designs that fit everything from mechanic to organic. There are so many ways to mix up what is in the tray I could be here a lifetime.<br />
I also thought that maybe I should think a bit harder about how a business has to work to survive so I am on with... I am half way through a series of generic cards that I can build up and make in bigger runs to sell through various shops...? (fingers crossed)<br />
<br />

All this work does seem to be paying off though as it was really great to be asked to display some of my stuff in a letterpress exhibition at the, West Yorkshire Print Workshop. They took a couple of new copies of the 'Rock&Roll' record and mangle print and a selection of our stuff that we do in the way of cards etc. ...Oh and a few sets of the 'Border Towns' I have been doing. I have done 4 of them now although I was unhappy with one after setting my 11 year old lad the same challenge and seeing his 'Letterpress Island' it made my 'Border Town Hall' look a tad naff so I put his in the exhibition and he is well chuffed. If he sells any I am sure I will never hear the end of it but he did it and he should be proud eh :)<br />

Please don't worry, though it says 'rock & Roll' on the cut no good music was damaged during the making of this print...</div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">The beauty of having the press set up and space to work in as that it gives time and space to experiment. I love learning new techniques but I am not a very good student so trial and error have been my two main teachers in life that I can credit with some form of 'edukacion'.</span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with an owl. I find it a wise move as I like them and I can copy my woodcut image as seen on here earlier. I like both the positive and negative image but I think I maybe over inked the glass.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I tried adding more colours by cleaning the glass re-inking it and then repressing.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am still finding too much ink on the glass in places I want shade and not darkness...</div>

Trying less ink I did this large poster sized print. My fave so far and its called 'sweaty trainers'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I tried inking the glass then taking a light impression just to take the top layer of ink down a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am loving this technique even though it only gives me one print I am starting to think I can do multiples by thinking about the image I am going to use the method for.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dark lines are starting to come out dark and I am now able to shade using my finger. I am also getting a slight print/darkness/smudge from where my hand catches the paper but I really like it. The negatives aren't so great now the inking technique has evened itself out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I am happy I will close the day with 'Sweaty trainers 2'. I will sleep happy tonight and dream of things I can draw and print this way tomorrow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also had the company of fellow Artistic Off Licensee, Johnny Morrall. Who after finishing his wonderful woodcut on the presses and then joined in the fun with a very apt little piece.

Brian has a fantastic collection of blocks as well as presses and paraphernalia. He called into the shop the other day with a couple of pointers and a lovely woodblock of a working mill in Otley from 1962.<br />

Finally finished carving the blocks for the school posters. I love the typefaces the kids have chosen and invented. I could hear their brains ticking as I carved out the blocks.

I was given a mangle today. Been looking for one for a while now and then by chance I was given this. For want of being in the right place at the right time when the right folk turned up.</div>

So as you can see. I have been eager to have a go at some dry point and acetate or plate etching but when it turned up the only thing I had to hand, happened to be an iconic piece of history that is quickly becoming forgotten.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The humble...sorry the greatest invention ever! The vinyl album, shaped my life and opened my eyes as well as ears. Cds' are too small for that good old artwork that was there to be lost in whilst the music played. Infact now as I hold the album I see that the disc is actually an amazing plate of a great work of art.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Well we have settled in our new home. I thought it quite apt to do a cut to celebrate home and what better than the swallows style birds and scrolls. They aren't exactly swallows or humming birds but I hope you can see the sentiment. They also had to hurry along to see if they worked as an actual tattoo design which is something that I hope to add pictures of in the future.</span>

Whilst I am waiting on the first of the kids blocks to carve for the school poster I thought I would do a quick run of my Haworth based businesses and points of interest. Starting with the steam railway just on the road from the printshop.<br />

Whilst my kids and computers and even blog sites are moving forward at a pace I can't keep up with I decided that I would show them a bit of how it used to be done.<br />
<br />

My lad is 10 and likes to have a carve and a print. I asked him if he thought I should take in my printing stuff to his school and do a quick print but before he answered me he asked at school if it was possible.<br />
<br />

Great stuff. That meant I had a meeting and agreed to bite off as much as I could chew and I set a project for the two classes that make up his year. I decided it would be nice to make a poster, Like the old theatre billing posters but linked to each and everyone in his class.<br />
<br />

I asked the teacher to show and discuss font with the kids. Explain how they do know it is important even if they aren't aware they are with examples like the big yellow 'M' and the script of a certain cola brand, white out of red, you know the one. After this the kids have been encouraged to chose a font and write their name in that font. Then a bit of a brain exercise and flip that image. Reverse the letters into a mirror image of what they have through either tracing or working out. They then would write their name in their font and give me back the block to carve.<br />

I hope these photos explain the rest,<br />
Wish me luck!!<br />

Hopefully to let folk know at the end of our time as a shop we can invite them all to come along and do some printing with us.<br />

So we have set up in the back of an art gallery/tattoo studio in Haworth. 11-13 Bridgehouse Lane, Haworth, West Yorkshire. Now I can show folk how we do what we do with the letterpress and proofing press woodcuts and leave them to use our wonderful collection as it should be. Hope you like the build pics and be great to see you there :)Oldfield Presshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07929881664153094349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215518476732015731.post-78718694748193543132012-03-05T16:56:00.003+00:002012-03-05T17:02:14.677+00:00Flock'n'roll<span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 211); " >I wanted to design a pattern that could be used as a background for a poster but also I was influenced by old Victorian 'flocked' wallpaper.

I met up with new incoming printer for the press Tim at 8am. We loaded most of everything we had to sell except for a couple of bits I noticed on our return but all in all we had most of it.<div>We took a small proofing press, one of the 8x5 Adanas, a made up chase and a selection of blocks I had carved. </div><div>It was great to ink up the machines and then invite folk/kids to use them. Some kids put the key block onto the saltaire print and others made their own postcards. Hopefully to post to top art collectors who might ring us in the morning or maybe even for Grandma and Grandpa to say what a great day they had.</div><div>I hope we inspired some printers of the future.</div><div>We did well on selling the prints too which was great to cover the costs but I think it was the networking, the movin' and a shakin' that was the biggest profit of the day. </div><div>After speaking with several of the folk there we were asked if we could do courses (of course) or open day which we are more than open to.</div><div>12 hours from door to door but an inspirational day all told.</div><div>Roll on the next one of these we can do and fingers crossed for those 'this is how we do it moments;.</div><div>Onward and upward...</div>Oldfield Presshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07929881664153094349noreply@blogger.com0
