The Little Shropshire Print Shop

Working from a small cottage in the heart of Shropshire

I work in the front room of my little Victorian cottage, surrounded by printing and art materials and - in the cold months of the year - with the wood-burner flickering away, to keep the chill off. My trusty table top serves a lot of uses, from the first drawings of a print design, to the carving of the plates and then inking, using the big plate of glass that you can see on the end.
My work generally involves the countryside and rural subjects. I like to create very simple, graphic images that are clean and unfussy, so there is often a feeling of spaciousness in even the smallest design.
Working with a variety of papers and oil based inks, drawing is at the heart of everything I do. It can often take weeks to perfect a design, ready for carving, so that the final design is just right.
