One for Sorrow
Posted by Simon Lewin

Richard Ardagh has been in touch about another letterpress print produced with Graham Bignell of New North Press.

"It's another in the nursery rhyme series Graham and I have been producing, referring to the superstitions associated with seeing magpies. This poster has been set in wooden and metal type, inked and printed by hand in an edition of 150"

The print is available from the New North Press.

RAMP
Posted by Angie Lewin

I've just unpacked this huge plate made by our friends Alice and Roop at RAMP. Alice's painted decoration of this piece prompts thoughts of the Festival of Britain and Ravilious' firework illustrations on his Coronation mugs.

Rob Ryan at Pick Me Up
Posted by Simon Lewin

Rob Ryan and his team have just completed a stint at Somerset House where they moved their entire studio for the Pick Me Up exhibition.

Here's a time lapse film that Karl Sadler made of 7 days worth of paper-cutting. To put this in context, each second of the film represents about 20 minutes of cutting.

Although often sold a unique papercut pieces, some of Rob's papercuts are editioned as screenprints - you can view a selection online at our print store.

Mark Hearld in BBC Homes & Antiques
Posted by Simon Lewin

Regular visitors to our website will be aware that Mark Hearld will be exhibiting at our North Norfolk gallery from Saturday 12th June 2010. If you'd like an invitation to the opening and details nearer the time, please sign up for our e-mail newsletter.

Mark also features in the June 2010 issue of BBC Homes and Antiques in an interview with Charles Farahar...

"The briefest glance around Mark Hearld’s York flat tells you that this is the home of an artist, an animal lover and, clearly, a hoarder. Everywhere you look, something catches the eye. Stuffed animals nestle next to Staffordshire figures. Piles of books – mainly artist’s monographs, Picasso is a particular favourite – crowd the shelves, and paintings and drawings from artist friends decorate the walls. An imposing, rabbit-shaped cushion occupies a chair, birds flutter endlessly after each other in a paper mobile overhead. There’s even an enormous 3D duck hanging from the ceiling."

Read the article in the June edition of BBC Homes and Antiques. Photo below by Jane Sebire courtesy of BBC Homes & Antiques.

Museum of British Folklore
Posted by Simon Lewin

On Saturday 3rd April the first of the Museum of British Folklore's mini exhibitions opened. The owners of Port Eliot, Lord and Lady St Germans have kindly loaned the space in one of the Gatehouses for the summer period while the main house is open to the public and also for the Port Eliot Festival period.

The exhibition looks at the Padstow May Day tradition and features a replica of the current Old Oss mask which is flanked by fabric designed by Mark Hearld and sponsored by St Jude's. There is also a small display of Corn Dollies which are specific to Cornwall.

The upstairs space has cabinets looking at curious remedies and cures, such as wearing the key of a church around the neck whilst sleeping to cure heartache. The legend of Dando, the dissolute 14th-century priest of St Germans, who is said to haunt the area, is told with an engaging film piece. Lastly, a fairy bower is displayed with a piece about the Cornish Piskies.

The exhibition runs at Port Eliot in Cornwall until 30th July 2010. Open every day except Friday from 2pm-4.30pm. Find out more about the Museum of British Folklore.

St Edmundsbury Cathedral
Posted by Simon Lewin

We're really very proud of our friend Paul Humphreys and his team at Hare & Humphreys for their work on this Millennium Project at the cathedral in Bury St. Edmunds.

There's a great slideshow of the project on the BBC Suffolk website...

"The final stage of the Millennium Project at the cathedral in Bury St Edmunds was to build a fan-vaulted ceiling under the roof of the new tower. The viewing area opened to visitors in March 2010 and they've been gazing up in awe at the artwork 130 feet above their heads."

Knockando Woolmill – 1979
Posted by Simon Lewin

Regular visitors to All Things Considered will know that we've been following (and helping where we can) the restoration project at Speyside's Knockando Woolmill.

Work commences on site in early March and we'll keep you up to date with progress here.

But a short piece of film from 1979 has been discovered which gives an insight into the condition of the Mill when Hugh Jones and friends took over the running from Duncan Stewart.

Here are a few words about the clip from Hugh Jones...

"In the summer of 1979 the mill featured in a TV documentary. We had recently got the carding and spinning running again for the first time since we took over in 1976 and were busy spinning natural yarn for a large order for Japan - not "hideous tartan"! The star of the show was, inevitably, the late Duncan Stewart who took to the silver screen like an old pro - I remember he had a great time that day. Peter Machell wasn't one of three of us who bought the mill in 1976, he was a talented hand weaver who worked with me for 2 years, trying his hand at machine weaving. To me, the best of this is seeing the spinning workshop running (which it will be again in 3 years time) and, of course, Duncan who got the last laugh!"

Kate Jenkins
Posted by Angie Lewin

My attempts at crochet still haven't progressed beyond wobbly scarves and grand plans for granny squares but I was inspired by catching sight of Kate Jenkins' crocheted caviar tin in the Rebecca Hossack Gallery window. Looking on her website I love this Tate & Lyle lion too.
