The first woman to use 'Collagraph'.. Maybe...?

I came across this wonderful print-maker and just had to share.. Enjoy...

Sheila Robinson 

Artist and Print-maker

Born in Nottingham, 1925, Robinson attended the art school there prior to training at the Royal College of Art, London. 

Sheila Robinson called her work cardboard cut's.. She was an accomplished printmaker and taught printing for many years in London, but she made her 'cardboard cut's' her own..

Holidays.. And a printmaker... Perfect.

We are off for a couple of days to the Isle of Wight, leaving our youngest in charge, he hasn't got a lot of work on at the moment but doesn't want to come away with us...  Understandable!

It is quite a shame really, he is desperately trying to finish his City and Guilds as a carpenter but has a few 'projects' to complete, but they are not forthcoming, even on a voluntary basis.. Anyone having a roof done or new stairs put in???? That could help him get his ticket? Wivenhoe area would be good...
