I have just returned to Skye after two weeks at Edinburgh Printmakers, continuing with my RSA residency. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the workshop and was surprised by some of the outcomes of my work. To find out more follow my blog, carolinedear.sphagnum.

Had a great residency in Grez-sur-Loing, south of Paris in November. Finnish artist, Heli Konttinen and I set up a blog to enable us to have a photographic dialogue, dearlogi.

Over Christmas I was developing a new technique developed from work that I did at Cove Park, working with very thin grass to make a delicate wall piece.
