March 2019:  One Year in Print

At the end of March it will be one year since I started printmaking full time. I’m really enjoying this new way of life, though think I’m becoming a bit hermit-like as I’m often squirrelled away in my home studio either carving lino or covered in ink...

Some printy highlights over the last year have included taking part in various NE print fairs, the Emerging Artists exhibition @bilsandrye, having @heyhoprintco begin stocking my prints, running linocut workshops and I’ve been blown away by online sales! Over the next six months I’ll be @artinthepen in Thirsk, taking part in an exhibition @palaceartscic in Redcar, running more workshops at Hey Ho Print Co. Studios in Saltburn (dates t.b.c.) and taking part in the @creative_factory_boro mentoring programme. Also I’ll have one of my prints on the front cover of the 2019 ‘Welcome to Saltburn’ brochure!

The picture shows some of the prints I’ve done over the past year that are still available (limited editions and open editions) or you can pick up a print Hey Ho Print Co. Store in Saltburn. Clockwise from top left: Huntcliff Ripples II (£60), Saltburn Cliff Lift (£60), Pier & Seagull (£45), Pier and Shore (£50), Jasmine (£30), A wave from Saltburn (£20), Komorebi (£70), Honesty (£60), Saltburn Viaduct (£60).

27th August 2017: Learning more about linocut printing!

At the end of August I attended a linocut course delivered by Michael Atkin, founder of Bracken Press. It was a two day intensive course at the end of which I felt I knew an awful lot more than when I arrived.  I took home a limited edition of 10 prints and after a little more work in my home studio, I produced this image of Roseberry Topping, viewed from Guisborough.
