Here is a video that I made a while ago now, but thought i would repost here, for anyone interested in Kitchen Litho. Just showing that you can use various mediums to create rubbings of textures on…| Alison Sloggett Printmaker
I made myself a memento of our new little one using the kitchen litho method, I didn’t have to put any ink on his foot, but it was tricky to get a good impression of his foot on the tin foil , managed to make a very quick little video of it .| Alison Sloggett Printmaker
I have decided to start putting my items on Folksy. I have not tried before now as I thought it would be too much work, and that folksy doesn’t get as much traffic. But after all the bad press Etsy has had recently and the ever increasing cut they take from sellers, good as time […]| Alison Sloggett Printmaker
Only a mere 3 years since I have last added something to this site(!) Woops. But I have good reason, I have had a baby and now a toddler , who is keeping me busy. Time is precious, precious time spent with him is not wasted , but it means time for making things and […]| Alison Sloggett Printmaker

I hear you cry, but didn’t you have a plan!? Well yes I had in mind what I thought I […]| Alison Sloggett Printmaker
I have for a while now been trying to do most of my cleaning of oil based inks with vegetable oil. The interest in safe wash inks, so called eco friendly and non toxic, is because they are easier to clean up . You can just use soap and water even though they are oil […]| Alison Sloggett Printmaker
I have started a new ongoing project to print my favourite birds from the UK ( possibly elsewhere) in detailed linocuts. I wanted to challenge myself with this project, so it is technically challenging as I am also printing them as multi block prints. Which means tight registration from separate blocks of lino carved to […]| Alison Sloggett Printmaker
Something which is very important in my work is the amount of recycled materials I can possibly use in the process. I like the idea of making something beautiful from essentially rubbish. Thats why I love collagraph making as I tend to use old cardboard packets. another bonus of this is the fact that […]| Alison Sloggett Printmaker
