When I was printing the 2026 NY cards I realised that it would be the last print run that I would do in the large public studio gallery space we have operated for the last 6 years including through covid times.
The next lot of printing will be done in a much smaller home based space.
I also rather like that the last print run was done with deep purple/violet - such lovely patterns on the inking plate when it was time to clean up - opening and closing images.
Process photos including print in the press and proofs.
Filling the drying racks.
It was a good feeling knowing that the final print run would also be the new beginning for the new year.
I really do hope that we can all take the time to gather small moments/bits of beauty; be open to the small joys of life; take what actions we can to bring about change; and above all reach out to others in kindness.
