Leslie Watts has just produced a number of small, limited edition drypoint prints. Without a proper printing press in her studio, but with an interest in trying printmaking, Leslie decided to try using a heavy plastic as her engraving surface (engravers traditionally use a metal plate - often copper) and a pasta machine as her press. The results are outstanding. Field Mouse, Duck, Pigeon and Path are all available in limited numbers from our gallery.
