Opportunity to take part in prestige Paston project
If you are an artist or a writer, you can explore a fascinating area of Norfolk, past and present, and discover more about new types of printmaking by taking part in workshops in the coming months. If you are interested, please contact Annette Rolston at annetterol@yahoo.com or Lucy Care of the Paston Heritage Society at lucyecare@aol.com, or write for our leaflet and booking forms to Mrs L Care, Dayspring, Mundesley Road, Paston, Norfolk, NR28 9TE.
Dates for workshops:
• Sunday 13th April, 10 am – 4 pm
• Sunday 11th May, 10am – 4 pm
• Saturday 31st May, 10 am – 4 pm
• Sunday 29th June, 10 am – 4 pm
• Wednesday 23rd July, 10 am – 4 pm
All workshops will take place at The Barn, Dayspring, Paston, and be led by Annette Rolston. A variety of printing techniques may be used, including non-toxic intaglio printing and collagraph – if you would like to discuss this further, please contact Annette. Workshops cost £20 a day (concessions £10), materials are included in the cost and drinks will be provided, but please bring a packed lunch.
The workshops will explore both the world of the Paston letters and the landscape and buildings of Paston today. There will be opportunities for collaborative work with artists or writers on the project, or to work alone and be assisted by the printers in the production of plates for the book.
In October, at the end of the project, participating writers will
have the opportunity to have a piece of work included in the
hand-bound book that will form the centrepiece of the autumn
exhibition. If you’d like to take part, you’d need to attend at
least one workshop. Writers of all levels of experience are
welcome: published or unpublished, experienced or beginners. All
you need is enthusiasm for this wonderful project, and a
willingness to produce work informed by this unique source
material.
If you would like to book for a workshop, please contact
Lucy Care at Dayspring, Mundesley Road, Paston NR28 9TE, or email

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.
