New print process at Paston
The Paston Project got into full swing at the weekend (Feb 16-18) with photo intaglio-type print workshops run at The Barn, Dayspring - home of Lucy Care, the project organiser. InPrint member Annette Rolston is a key member of the arts team on the project, and she was helping to run these opening workshops with expert Sarah Godfrey. The workshops were run for other artists, some from the immediate area but others from much further afield, and produced an amazing variety of work using an exciting new process that was new to all of them.
InPrint members Joan Murray and Mike Fenton were also involved, and Tim Lenton joined the group on the Monday afternoon. The workshops were being professionally filmed as part of the project.
Appetite for poetry
Tim Lenton and Rupert Mallin joined forces again last week in Colchester, where they did a well-received joint reading as part of an evening in aid of Lepra, the leprosy relief agency. This was in Appetite, a cafe on Church Walk which has a growing reputation for entertainment. Music was a big feature of the evening, put on my Jason McLean.
Rupert steps down
Rupert Mallin, who has been the driving force of the group since its inception five years ago, has decided to step down from InPrint to pursue his own work. He will retain close links to the group and will be working with us on occasion. He is already committed to one of the Paston Project workshops, in which InPrint has a key role.
Rupert is a very talented performance poet who is also a visual artist. His enthusiasm, hard work and friendship have been strong motivators for the group in the work that has been done, especially connected with the poetry vending machine, where he produced some exceptional boxes with Tonia Jillings, who is also stepping down. They will be missed.
InPrint, however, goes on. We are now a looser collaborative group with much the same aims and looking forward to creating unique work together. At present our concentration is on the Paston Project, which launched on February 2 with a Latin Compline at Paston Church and some memorable mulled wine and food. Quite a striking experience in a remote, candlelit church. Date for your diaries is the Open Day on March 22.
