End of Term Lunch

The Press Gang's end of term lunch was very enjoyable.  We feasted on sushi, quiche, empanadas, and chicken & walnut sandwiches, followed by fresh strawberry muffins, lemon poppyseed friands, pistacio cake, chocolate cream cake, and a delicious pear tart.

The lunch also gave us an opportunity to discuss our upcoming exhibition which will be held from December 9 - 22.

The works above are reduction woodcuts using more than one plate. They're looking wonderful already so we're all keen to see the final results.
