All that fretting in the night paid off. I arrived in class with a plan - to stencil/print a quotation from The Scamp Inquiry about the 1968 dispute across my concertina sketchbook, and print a Lino cut drawing over it.
The largest letters I could find were a 2" stencil set. Somewhat smaller than the 6" letter stamps I'd hoped for, but good enough. I started by using the Ford logo template (cut out of yesterday's stencil) to create a block of colour with a white negative logo (because Ford were negative towards the machinists), then cut stencils for the quotation. I had enough binder in the blue I mixed yesterday, to do the whole quotation.
Lovely quote from The Scamp Enquiry. Words writ large, now to be 'overwritten' by how Ford treated the staff. So overprinting with lots of car seat linocut prints, making the point that the machinists were banging them out. Not sure how much to work into it. How complicated to make it?
