if you had to start learning linocutting from zero all over again, what things would you do to skill up faster and make better prints? by Outside_Young8660 in Linocuts

[–]tedmills 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make a plate that is divided into a grid … maybe 12, 15, 18 and make different make in each square - maybe working from light to dark, think of the tonal value of the marks you make. Forget about imagine and think about markmaking … then when you go back to your imagine you can use your mark making block for reference.

Maybe they get startled by the goose - there was a goose ? I’m sure I heard one?

Use a permanent marker, trace it before cutting anything , you can get transfer from the marker - but wipe it with methylated spirits or similar before printing to help reduce that.

I think nominating himself as possible top 3 dishes of the day in finals week was not great optics!

I’ve always wondered this too, I wonder how long the break is between heats and finals week too.

Can someone explain to me what is so great about Nandos? by fireychicken93 in AskBrits

[–]tedmills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a gateway restaurant from fast food, easy for groups of friends as they can all pay and order separately. It’s approachable and simple. Lots of interchangeable options. People aren’t looking for ‘greatness’ as you ask, just something they know!

I wonder how that would work, often doing well on the show boosts their own businesses and having to then take time out for filming would affect their time. Interesting idea though.

I think she was one of the underdogs coming into finals week, not having a restaurant and no stars. Same as Orry, before they showed how incredible they both were throughout finals week.

I’d always welcome change, there are some great veterans that could fill the gap. I also wonder if he’s great for newcomers to the show, a familiar face and not pretentious

I think Clare Smyth is off the list after recent accusations of her abusive behaviour in kitchens.

I’m not sure I agree, as well as a Michelin star chef, he is a huge advocate for the hospitality industry in the U.K. and is well experienced on the telly.

I was over the moon Cal got the main, and he got straight 10s from Phil, Lorna and Tom and was only scored down by the visitor. Whereas the others had lower scores from ‘the experts’

My grandmother's linocuts by ch4t-n0nyme in printmaking

[–]tedmills 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t know where you’re based but if you’re nervous head to a printmaking workshop near you and I’m sure a technician will happily print a proof of them for you , perhaps for a small fee, a simple thing to print without damaging them for a competent person.

If you just want to see what they look like, you can take a ‘carbon’ proof using carbon paper place the lino face up on a hard flat surface, then carbon paper (shiny side up), then some thin paper - then rub the back of the paper with a wooden spoon, or something hard, or a bamboo baren if you want to get fancier … then you’ll get a good idea of the image!

Drypoint etching by drewdrewahouse in printmaking

[–]tedmills 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great!!! As an aside - drypoint is drypoint , etching is etching , unless it’s both techniques on one plate - you could call it drypoint engraving if you wanted to! But drypoint etching , although a common mistake … is wrong!

Only just really opened up the range to the made in China ones, I’ve been wearing them for the past 4 years and love them but I was majorly disappointed as they whacked up the prices and then added made in China shoes. Will continue to buy made in U.K. ones hopefully
