The sun was shining when I arrived in the village but thereafter it mostly rained. It was after all the Lake District but it didn’t worry me on this visit as the course I was on was indoors at the Cycle Cafe – http://www.quirkyworkshops.co.uk

I was on a wood engraving course and it was brilliant! Here is some of my work. I should point out that all of the wood blocks we worked on were very small, about 2″ x 1″.
Now that I’m home again I need to buy some tools so that I can continue. Wish me luck!

Very nice trip and artwork photos, soothing colours and lines 🙂 and Best of Luck with your new artistic endeavours 😀
Thank you Marina. I love Cumbria even in the rain so I will have to return to do some walking. For now I will make some new goals: artistic as well as my physical health.
Awesome, Ashley!
I am glad that you caught a few rays of sun in Cumbria so that you could take a couple of pictures for us.
Your artwork looks wonderful. Good luck in finding all the tools and materials that will allow you to continue this endavour. I am looking forward to seeing more!
Much love,
Steffi
Hi Steffi,
the course was only 3 days but very intense so the time seemed to go by very quickly. A sort of meditation?
Much love,
Ashley
What a cool thing to do, Ashley! Have you utilized this skill much since 2016? 🌞
Unfortunately, no! As I type I have a small block of boxwood ready to use, hopefully for this Christmas. Enjoy what’s left of the weekend. We are about to put our clocks back one hour, tonight! 🕰⏲⏰⏱
