SAW 2024

Somerset Art Weeks Festival 2024 – 21st September – 6th October
18/08/2024
Venues are opening across the county during the festival, featuring artists and makers of every medium, from painting to performance.

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 21st September – 6th 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, digital copy of the guide and info about the App.
