Springham (2022) Linocut by Barbara Calderwood

I love Spring and I love gingham, so I've combined them in this print of narcissi in one of my favourite jugs.

I particularly like rendering different textures and surfaces in lino, and this print gave me the opportunity to tackle textile and pottery, as well as the contoured petal surfaces of the blooms.

This print is produced using four plates - a mixture of three different reduction plates, plus one for the background. This approach keeps the colours very clean and sharp with very little overlap.

Supplied mounted with archival tape on a neutral coloured mounting board, - it will fit a standard 12 x 16" frame. Packed in a cellophane sleeve.
