mrs ping* signing in, trying to get with the blogarhythm. The Henningham household is a bit up and down these days, what with trying to buy a home to put our studio in, David building our screen printing workshop over at his mum’s, visiting relatives learning English, summer barbeque epidemic, me half haunting the post

It was my mother’s sixtieth birthday yesterday so a few of us went to Hever Castle for a day out. We stumbled across a book open in one of the rooms showing Anne Boleyn’s aunt, Lady Mary Henegham, who it turns out is my ancestor. Apparently we were still loaded and living in Norfolk until

Wow, what a thrilling headline I came up with! This week I’m mainly sorting out the new screen studio and Inkjet equipment. This is the inherited money I spoke of earlier being invested. Today I ordered a new PC, built to my requirements, so that I can print inkjet stuff like we did for the

I have been curated onto a website of graduates by Axis, so you can see some of my sculptures and CV there. They’ve even written an article about my work. I’m getting nervous about my show in Westminster, (or is it about the mortgage papers?) I feel like it is largely down to me if

Today I went to see the librarian at the Tate. They have a great research centre which I plan to use in the future to look at other small press books. They have a collection of over 50,000 books.

What an amazing few days we’ve had. I’ve been writing my thesis, which is the closest we will ever have to a manifesto in the HFP. It is basically a proposal for the HFP, but in the form of an interview with a deceased printer (Eric Gill) and an essay on the American band the Danielson

I was awarded a year’s free membership of the printmakers council for my books, which is good. I go on file in their slide library and I may get some exhibitions out of it. They once did one in the Natural History museum, which is my kind of gig. I just got back from Madrid,

As I said I would, I went to the Chelsea BA degree show last night. I wanted to see if the buzz was transferring to the work. It was quite a good show. There were some especially good sculptures there, but unfortunately the whole site was ridiculously confusing. There is no way of knowing if

Today I went to see a man called Duart at Westminster Reference Library, just behind the National Gallery. He contacted me through the Slade Degree show. They’ve asked me to put on an exhibition of sculptures and books for the length of August, which will be my first solo show. It is an ideal place for my work, it feels

Chelsea College of Art and Design on Millbank have purchased a copy of ‘nth convention’, ‘Nonconformist’, and ‘Dinocerata’ for their artists’ book collection, which is one of the finest I’ve seen. Any alumni or student there can go and look at these books. As an alumni I’m especially pleased. And I must say I was
