Thanks to everyone who has commented on my work. I'm sorry I haven't been around for a while but I have been very busy honest! I have been working like mad to complete the six new groyne paintings which I will be uploading over the next week or so. On top of that I have just opened a Gallery/print studio in what was up until recently a clothes shop on the ground floor of the building where I live. It has a concrete floor so at last I have been able to rescue my etching press! Anyway here is the blurb: "Ryepress has now opened in the centre of Hastings old town. Situated in the well known Retro shop in Hastings High street this new print studio and gallery joins a growing collection of galleries in what is fast becoming East Sussex’s newest centre for the arts. With the eponymous Rye press now installed, the studio will soon be featuring periodic etching demonstrations, with a unique opportunity to see the process in action and buy Colin Bailey's limited edition prints of Hastings, Rye and the East Sussex coast straight from the press. Colin will be holding printing demonstrations in the etching studio throughout the summer. Please watch this space for details. The Ryepress Gallery and etching studio will be officially opening on 21st June and from then on will be open THU - MON from 12.00 - 6.00" Ryepress 39 High Street Hastings East Sussex TN34 3ER
