Diana Ashdown

I am primarily a printmaker experimenting and devising different print techniques with lino, collagraph and eco prints, exploring texture and colour combinations. I use both surfaces (intaglio and relief) of the lino or collagraph matrix for focal depth, overlaying sympathetic colours to bring my ideas to fruition. A starting point for this work was finding […]

I have returned to lino cutting as I enjoy the strongly physical […]

Vanna Bartlett

The inspiration for my work comes from the natural world around me. I am very much an amateur naturalist as well as an artist. In fact for me the two go hand in hand. It is my passion for wildlife that makes me want to capture it on paper while the artist in me wants […]

I find my inspiration in my surroundings: the Norfolk countryside, its wildlife, birds, farm animals and coast. I am often inspired by my morning dog walks: winter sunrises, the pattern […]

Louise Bird

I have always looked towards natural history for inspiration. During my degree course in Fine Art Printmaking, I became fascinated by bees and my interest has continued until this day. I get great satisfaction knowing that my artwork is helping spread awareness that bees are under threat from loss of habitat, as a result of […]

Lisa Bird

My print work is informed by my use of mixed media, the discipline I have been working in for over a decade. My interpretation of collograph printing is to conjure up the essence of a world controlled by cogs and gears, and the sense of fluid movement I see when I work with the printmaking […]

Lauren Brunt

My creative practice uncovers and captures the detail hidden in English Civil War locations through screen-prints, showing the landscapes palimpsest, and revealing the disappearing past held within the land. As a life-long historical re-enactor, historical research has been central to my practice, with an investigation of the way in which my involvement in the Sealed Knot Society has influenced the […]

Brigitte-Anne Hague

My work is an emotional response to my own life experiences – a remembered moment, an emotion or an idea – translated into the visual. Using different print processes, I work in both abstract and representational genres. My large abstract silkscreen works are a non-ironic poetic aesthetic – an exploration of what we feel, perceive […]

Sally Hirst

My work has always reflected where I live, places I visit and journeys I embark upon. The texture, architecture, signage and structures of each new environment dictate the development of my artwork.

H.J Jackson

Having been briefly introduced to linocutting in my last term at school, I was interviewed for a place at Norwich School of Art. The wood engraver Geoffrey Wales looked at my initial print and pronounced that I would study linocutting as a craft. With those few words, he mapped out my artistic life. On leaving […]

Clare Johnson

I studied Fine Art at Canterbury Art College. I have worked in the art world ever since, first knitwear, then animatronic costume making at Jim Hensons, followed by community projects, (mostly based around printing on fabric, banners and flags with schools, elderly care, hospitals and even football clubs).

I try […]

Jayne McConnell

My Practice explores the relationship between, and in particular, clothing with a collective conscience, formed by social histories and personal attachment. The touch, look and feel of material is familiar to us all, and on our first entrance to the world we are wrapped and cushioned from our environment, usually in some form of textile. […]

I teach Letterpress at Print to the People: […]

Rory McShane

Chrissy Norman

Etching took over from watercolour in 1999 and I have been fascinated by the medium ever since.

Maria Pavledis

I am exploring the ways in which people process events and experiences through personal narratives or stories.  These connect with oral traditions of folk and fairy tale, articulating often  complex stories through a narrative symbolism of animals and natural forms. In particular I use the relationship between humans and animals as a way of exploring […]

Nicola Slattery

For me there are occasions when I’ve made a print and it inspires me to create a painting with a similar idea and composition in mind. Then at other times it works the other way round and I create a print inspired by one of my paintings. They are not intended to be copies of […]

Ivy Smith

I am a figurative painter-printmaker. My usual print methods are linocut and etching. My main area of interest is the figure.

Liz Taunt

I returned to printmaking in 2016 after working with textiles and papier mache for some time. My father, a mathematician, grappled with purely abstract concepts. In my prints I attempt to construct their visual counterparts, which are inevitably a little less precise. They are made by playing with the conventional elements of abstraction: colour, tone, […]

James Treadaway

As co-founder of Off The Press Collective, I organise events and exhibitions involving a spectrum of talented artists. The themes from these exhibitions have a huge influence on my own work, often bouncing it new directions.
