The first sand is my favourite step in making contact frames - they transform from rough as guts with glue & putty and gunk all over into something that hints at just how pretty and useful they will be.
At this point we’ve already spent many hours on them - sourcing recycled hardwood, cutting and routing the wood into shape, mitering the corners, glueing and clamping, then reinforcing the joins with slots of another hardwood (oak is our fave for that) & rebating the slots for the springs to slide into.
There’s still several more grades of sanding to go, then the coats of danish oil. Not to mention making the steel springs and the split backing boards, adding the hinges, gluing the felt and checking the tension.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that we’ve barely been keeping up with backorders for most of the year, but it looks like we are almost ahead! There’s a few in this next batch that haven’t been spoken for yet 😊

Happened upon these glorious Cyanotype pieces by local Adelaide artist Katheryn Hill whose works are part of the group exhibition “Sight Specific” at Holdfast Optometrists on Jetty Road, Glenelg.
I adore the way the beautiful images have been delicately stitched together!
If you know Kathryn’s Instagram please let us know so we can give her a round of applause & proper kudos! 💙👏👏👏

BIG NEWS! The Analogue Laboratory is joining the Makers at @6manton ! Yep, we are rubbing elbows with the finest clutch of humans ♥️ in their magical making space! Our neighbours are @dmnwrmn of #sticktogalleypress (letterpress) and @tipchick of @unionstprint (printmakers) It’s an all analogue, roll up your sleeves and get messy making space and we Could Not Be More Excited!! Damien is the one who has done *all* the building so far (this is his photo, we pinched it 🖤I think he is excited too? 😉) There’s still lots to do before we are ready to show you around, but we plan to offer a lot more opportunities to play in the Dark in our new darkroom built for two 💙

Hey Guys! It’s been a while, and although we’ve been quiet we haven’t been idle. We had high hopes of being able to announce our plans for the not-too-distant future, but there’s been a small out-of-our-control spanner in the works. We are busting to share, as it’s massively exciting, but there’s a bit more waiting patiently, so ...
In the meantime we are still keeping the Analogue Love Alive - supplying chemistry & equipment all over Australia and the world. (Kinda surprised you’re all still mad for Cyanotype this far into winter, but we understand the Blue Goo is addictive 💙 A new batch of contact frames is drying in the shed)
We’ve also been working on plans for an artist’s residency in the Mid Murray Mallee area. It’s going to be sweeeeeet 👌

While the Lab is being re-invented we’ve taken the time to cross a few items off our bucket list. 5 days & 60+ kilometers walked together/alone in a forest was something we don’t have the words to describe right now - but to quote a dear friend
“If I have achieved great things, it was because I was stupid and didn’t know how hard it would be when I started” - Simon Williams @wyman.silliams .
