The Handmade Broom

This in-depth guide to the art and craft of wood engraving, from a recognised expert in the field, offers a fount of information, advice and top tips into working effectively in this medium. Aimed both at beginners and at those with experience, Anne Desmet RA generously shares her extensive knowledge explaining traditional techniques in clear step-by-step stages. She also introduces new, unexpected, never-before-published ideas, possibilities and directions based on her own creative experiments with wood engraving over four decades. Wood Engraving - A Personal Approach invites both beginners and more experienced practitioners to engage with the processes and possibilities - orthodox and otherwise - of the art and craft of engraving on end-grain woodblocks to produce original, handmade prints of amazing diversity and finesse. Exploring, in particular, the medium's great potential for creating images in light, the reader is supported on their own creative path with plenty of step-by-step guidance, top tips and user-friendly ideas and advice. Enriched with a wealth of inspiring images by the author herself, spanning her 40 years as a wood engraver, alongside excellent examples by other leading practitioners, the book extends well beyond the scope of other engraving manuals. While advocating and imparting traditional processes, the author actively encourages the breaking of the medium's traditional boundaries using modern methods and technical innovations. The book facilitates a lively personal engagement by the reader who will be empowered to take up this historic medium and make it their own. This book explains how to prepare blocks, handle and sharpen tools, scale and prepare imagery for engraving using traditional approaches and the latest digital aids. Shares ideas to combine wood engraving with linocut, stencils and other mixed-media methods, as well as innovative collage-making on unusual surfaces. Features inspiring examples of prints using hand-printing and press-printing, in black and white and in blended colours, and new abstract compositions printed digitally.

Creative Woodturning Projects

Old houses share their secrets only if they survive. Trading the corporate ladder for a stepladder, Lee McColgan commits to preserving the ramshackle Loring House, built in 1702, using period materials and methods and on a holiday deadline. But his enchantment withers as he discovers the massive repairs it needs. A small kitchen fix reveals that the structure's rotten frame could collapse at any moment. In a bathroom, mould appears and spreads. He fights deteriorating bricks, frozen pipes, shattered windows, a punctured foundation and even an airborne chimney cap while learning from a diverse cast of preservationists, including a master mason named Irons, a stone whisperer and the Window Witch. But can he meet his deadline before family and friends arrive, or will it all come crashing down? McColgan's journey expertly examines our relationship to history through the homes we inhabit, beautifully articulating the philosophy of preserving the past to find purpose for the future.
