Thanks to all who attended my recent workshops in Dorset.  I think a  good time was had by all and lots of lovely work produced.  I’m available for demonstrations and mono-print workshops, a really fun way to rejuvenate your art practice- just get in contact.

One of the results of the group residency I took part in at Lizard Point is an exhibition at the Helston Museum of Cornish Life- it’s on now until 26th October.  As well as housing amazing amounts of curiosities and curios (if you’re an old fashioned museum fan, this one is for you!) it…

I’ll be opening up my studio at 2, The Square, Puddletown, Nr Dorchester, DT2 8SL between Friday 20th and Sunday 22nd September, to show work produced recently and have a chance to show visitors how I work (I’ll be hand- printing throughout) and chat with me if they want to.  A great way to…

You can see my piece ‘Barn, South Down’ at the Clifton Arts Open between 3rd and 18th August at the Undercroft, Victoria Methodist Church, 1 Whiteladies Road, Bristol alongside high quality work by the great and the good of Clifton. Next up, I’ve created a new piece for ‘Material Flow’ at the Museum in…

Spike Open, the popular open studios weekend at Spike Island will be between 3rd and 6th May.  Spike Print Studio will be taking part and I hope to have some images on display showcasing the new work I’ve been making there- mainly etching and photo-etching.  It’s a great chance to see what goes on…

North Somerset Arts Week is almost upon us!  3rd-12th May. If you love finding hidden gems in lovely places then take a day, a weekend or the whole week to tour North Somerset in search of great art.  I’ll be exhibiting with friend and fellow Estuary artist Ian Price at his house, 12 Glenwood…

I’m just back from a wonderful short group residency at Lizard Point in Cornwall (literally- the end of the garden was the end of the land!) The idea was that the residency would form part of the commemoration of 2 communication landmarks- 450 years since the Lighthouse was built at the Lizard and 50…

I’ve taken on a mini-residency at Black Nore Lighthouse, on the Severn Estuary coast in Portishead, ahead of North Somerset Arts Week, when I’ll be exhibiting my work at 12 Glenwood Rise, just behind the lighthouse.  Though relatively small in stature, it makes up for it in picturesque position and has been saved and…

I’ve started making prints based on the walled gardens at the National Trust’s Tyntesfield, just outside Bristol.  I’m in the playing around stages at the moment, but coming up with a few good images.  I’m using photo-polymer etching plates at the moment and adding mono-print, but I hope to make some cyanotypes as well.

I’ve been making the most of my time as a ‘born-again’ Spike Print Studio member.  Despite trepidation at making such a large (A2) photo-polymer print, I’m really enjoying it.  This image is created by painting onto mark resist (see through plastic), and then photographically transferring it onto a metal plate that can be printed…
