Printmaking - some of what I have tried
Below are some examples of my printmaking together with some photos of the process... I am fortunate to live near Edinburgh Printmakers, where I have been an artist member for 4 years now (I’ve also been on the Board of Trustees since December 2024!), and it is such an amazing space! They offer a wide variety of courses, for accomplished artists as well as for absolute beginners. (and a lovely cafe too!) I want everyone to check them out!
Some of my work is for sale in their shop as well:

More gratitude - appreciating that famous British cup of tea that magically makes everything better - copperplate etching
From my gratitude series - a tooth fairy to celebrate the quiet magic of dentistry! Copperplate etching
More copperplate etching - on zinc this time! 😆 Hard ground etching, followed by textures added in soft ground and etched again
Christmas magic - copperplate etching, with added textures and leaves during a second etching process. Experimented with different colours too
