The Collier and Campbell Archives

A day trip to Rye to the archives of Collier

and Campbell, to meet the very lovely Sarah 

Campbell. Our task, to make a selection of 

original textile designs for the upcoming 

Contemporary Open Print Fair at the Sidney 

Cooper Gallery in Canterbury this July.

Collier and Campbell are responsible for some 

of our most famous and iconic textile designs

and the archives were brimming with the most 

wonderful hand painted pictures and fabric 

samples. It was an overwhelming task as we 

only had room for a small selection but it 

made for the most fascinating and memorable 

day out. A big thank you to Sarah for her 

generosity, for making us feel so welcome 

and for giving us both such a special treat.

Karen Radford

This 'cotton drawing' screenprint was

produced by print block member Karen 

Radford, part of an ongoing series of 

spirals she has been working on in the 

studio.

Book Binding Workshop

On Sunday the Print Block held another 

book binding workshop with Tish Tunstall. 

Taking part in this class proved to be 

a real eye opener. The possibilities are 

endless and the range of creativity was

inspiring...I can't recommend this enough!

There is a follow up class this coming 

Sunday 14th July which will focus on making 

a hardback book and is open to everyone. 

Tish supplies a wide range of decorative 

papers but if you have something special 

you want to use bring it along. For more
