You only need very simple equipment to start printmaking and then, the world is literally your oyster. Or in my case, your Cornish harbour and crate of mackerel…When I started carving in 2019, I had a bright studio and a desire to step away from the digital world. I have enjoyed a wonderful career as a photographer, with a passion for capturing local artisans and those who make a living from the land. Now I too wanted to immerse myself in an honest craft that hasn’t changed in generations and make art with only my ‘hands’. My hobby has now become much more than I ever dreamed it would be and allows me to sell (often over a market stall like an old fashioned shop keeper) prints of subjects that bring me joy every day - whether that’s fishing boats, a record player or an earthy bunch of leeks, I am delighted that people find space for them on their walls.
