SAW 2023
Somerset Art Weeks Open Studios 2023 16 September- 1 October
02/08/2023
Somerset Open Studios returns for 2023! It’s the biennial opportunity for SAW Artist Members to open their studio doors to allow a glimpse into often-private spaces and workshops, alongside pop up venues, where audiences can meet the artist, see work in progress and visit the creative source.
My inky printmaking studio will be displaying a variety of original prints. These include innovative, one-off monoprints, often using foraged materials or wood veneers. Alongside my monoprints are some intricate linocuts with patterned designs and woodblocks that work with the natural shape, grain and flaws of wood. Through the year I have continued to work with self-adhesive foil and found materials to create prints which are rich in texture.
My work is inspired by the Somerset Levels and the countryside around me; night skies and the coast. Some of my work is created en plein air as I take inked plates out on my walks and I sometimes carry a printing press in the car.
The festival runs from 16 September- 1 October, my studio at 2 Greenfield Lane, Bawdrip, TA7 8PX will be open every day 10 – 5 (other times by appointment, please contact me). I will be on hand to discus and demonstrate different aspects of printmaking so please call in for a chat. More info about the overall event as a whole can be found on Somerset Art Works website including an interactive map and venue listings.
