Open Studios last year (2021) was a fabulous weekend! If you couldn’t make last year’s event – I hope to see you this year. If you did visit last year – please come again!! I opened my studio in August 2019 – it was The Studio’s grand opening weekend event. I love to share my space and meet people interested in my work and/or printmaking, even if its to learn what ‘printmaking’ is 😊
Take advantage of this unique opportunity – to step inside the hidden sanctuary of an artist’s studio. Artists’ whose work you love, who you have never heard of, or who create in a medium that piques your interest.
My studio, The Studio, is my own quiet and safe space. It’s where I create, and where I share my printmaking skills in year-round workshops. It is where I find respite from our discombobulated world and the stressors and pressures of life.
Engage your senses while you have a look around and chat with me about process, practice and printmaking.
There will be work for sale – original hand-printed framed and unframed works – new and old works. Linocut. Monotype. Etching. Artist books. Hand-made books. Printed scarves. With tea and coffee and nibbley treats on hand.
