I passionately believe that printmaking plays a crucial role in arts education for both young people and adults - it encourages and promotes creative thinking, problem solving, decision-making, autonomy of thought, wellbeing, and material experimentation. And what’s more - it’s fun! There’s a joy and anticipation which comes from peeling the paper back after it’s gone through the press which is unique to printmaking.

I will be running workshops at Ebor Studios, Littleborough, throughout the year in a range of printmaking processes. My specialisms include etching, aquatint, sugarlift, solar-plate etching,monotype, collograpgh and wood lithography (mokulito). My approach to teaching is hands-on, and I aim to present sometimes complex processes in an accessible and relaxed way.
