At my open studio you can:
Ask me anything about my art, my inspiration and processes - I love a good ol’ arty chat!
Have a go yourself at gel plate printing with botanicals or textures I’ve ‘saved from the recycling’ - or watch me demonstrate
Flick through my sketchbooks to find out more about how I work and how my art has developed!
And should you wish, you can buy original art, art prints and cards.
Gel plate printing demonstrations and ‘have a go’ sessions
When you visit my studio you are welcome to try gel plate printing for yourself - I have aprons but please make sure you wear old clothes - or you can watch me do a demonstration. No need to book, just turn up {you’re welcome to let me know when you’re coming of course}.
