Last prints of 2015! 

I finally broke out of monochrome! Had a few quick experiments with multiple plates but my terrible registration won out. I feel like I’ve learned so much just in the 5 sessions I’ve used the workshop, though I’ve barely scratched the surface of lino printing.

Andrea Zittel

'In 2002 Zittel began hand felting wool directly into the shape of shirts, tunics or dresses.  Eash resulting Fiber Form Uniform was made as a single piece with no seams.  These garments were produced the auspices of A- Z Advanced Technologies – bringing complexity of form together with pre-industrial know-how. A-Z Advanced Technologies comment on progressive designs that hark back to lost primitive ideals.'

'In the A-Z Single Strand Uniforms (1998-2001) Zittel abandoned pre-woven fibers and created clothing directly from a single strand of yarn, which she crocheted into various forms.  She chose crochet because it required the least number of implements possible (a single hook) to make a garment.'
