'Wild Swimming' linocut original print, limited edition

Inspired by wild swimming at Poolbridge Farm near York. This print was created from my drawings done over the Summer at the wonderful Poolbridge wild swimming lakes.

10% of the sales from this print are going to Surfers Against Sewage and their important work to protect our rivers and seas against pollution and make them safe places for us to swim in and enjoy.

This print has been created by me using hand carving tools on natural linoleum. Then printed by hand using a rich black eco-friendly professional printing ink onto white or grey papers.

Each one is printed by hand, by me, in my Yorkshire studio. Because all my prints are printed by hand this makes every single one of them a unique reproduction, and subtle variations will occur from print to print in detail and colour. Which is the whole beauty of the process and creation of handmade prints - no two prints are ever exactly the same! You get something individual and unique.

My prints are created in limited editions, so each print is also hand titled, numbered and signed by me in pencil. Professional black printmakers ink
