Lino Printmaking: A Newcastle Printmaker’s Blog
Get cozy, it's storytime...
Towards the end of 2023, I was working away on a new print and now it’s time to tell you the story of how it came to life.
Tumbling is a celebration of the wild waves of the North Sea. I went to stay in Beadnell and we were greeted with Storm Babet. Some people may see this as a time to hide away and stay cosy but I’m not one of those people. Instead I collected my sketchbook and watercolours and headed out to explore.
