'Pouncing' about.. On coloured Perspex blocks

To pounce

Pouncing is an art technique used for transferring an image from one surface to another. It is similar to tracing, and is useful for creating copies of a sketch outline to produce finished works. Pouncing has been a common technique for centuries, used to create copies of portraits and other works that would be finished as oil paintings, engravings, and so on. The most common method involves laying semi-transparent paper over the original image, then tracing along the lines of the image by creating pricked marks on the top sheet of paper. This pounced drawing made of pricked holes is laid over a new working surface. A powder such as chalk, graphite or pastel is forced through the holes to leave an outline on the working surface below, thus transferring the image. The powder is applied by being placed into a small bag of thin fabric such as cheesecloth, then dabbed onto the pricked holes of the pounced drawing.

'Finishing off' the L.A.B. | STUDIO 3 - *Full show 'Crookid stiks 'n' $tones' ON in the three studios*

Dungeness Open Studios -
Three open studios on the West-side beach. All work on show is made to a standard finish in a third studio to the right of Studio 2 and completed over time in early morning sessions in these buildings. Studio 1 is used as a 'clean space' for colouring and printing relief prints. Studio 2 hosts part-time residencies for invited visiting artists and is used as a showing space for new projects or as a viewing space for individual works seen online. L.A.B. | Studio 3 - is used as an impromptu showing space for new projects.

Generally as soon as paintings, prints or drawings are more or less completed they make their way here prior to purchase or further exhibition. We do not consider these spaces to be a 'gallery' as such, more a public extension of a continuing working practice enabling the preview of work in a clean and organised environment.
