I wish everyone a wonderful year 2016. health, happiness, projects become reality, music and many printmaking.

For my part, I would put myself seriously to printmaking. And continue my momentum of 2015 to offer new tools. I think the best of 2016 will ceramics scrapers. They are being tested by customers and are very promising. They will be available in two versions, a fine and extra fine, to be used mainly for work details in mezzotint and drypoint.

In the very short term I would suggest you a slim version of carbide tips to improve the visibility of the engraved line.

Here are my other projects:

- Polyurethane inking rollers. I have already tested this material on prototypes in 2013 (!!!), but I’m not yet gone into production. There are many metal piece on the project for which I have to find suppliers.

- Cutters for the relief printmaking. There are many models on the market with very good blades (pfeil, stubaï…), but I find they are not ergonomic.

- pen cases and display stands for your tools, made by laser cut. First prototype in medium, then probably a birch plywood version and higher end versions in oak.

- texturing tools: roulettes, various materials. For now I do not really know what I could propose, but there is food for thought.

If you have ideas or needs, please feel free to contact me.
