Today’s guest is Christina Richmond, aka Tweeny.  Christina lives in Bath, and as a Jane Austen fan, I’ve always had a fantasy version of Bath in my head.  We do chat about this at the top of the podcast, but then we get into the creative meat of the matter: when graphic design meets lino. Meet Christina: She is a designer by day, living and working in the beautiful city of Bath, and an artist-printmaker in her free time. She has been print-making for around 9 years, mostly creating small lino prints packed full of detail. Christina is teaching how she creates her stamp designs on her iPad in the #CarveDecember Class. Some things we discuss on the podcast: * being part of a creative couple* precision* Pfeil Tools* Flexcut Slipstrop for sharpening tools* relationship between lino and graphic design* lino carving as a hobby, with no desire to make it a profession* lino vs rubber (lino is biodegradable)* Christina’s ideal studio* Presses: Book Press, Woodzilla Press* Beth Lewis of @booloulewdesign* not rushing things Links for Christina: * https://www.instagram.com/tweeny/* http://www.tweeny.etsy.com* https://www.facebook.com/tweenyprints/ Recommendations: * Mom: Window Swap* Julie: Bob Ross Black Gesso And finally, in case you’re wondering, she got the house!
