Fabulous prints from Saturday’s one-colour linocut workshop. It’s always amazing to see how much people learn in just a few hours.
If you’d like to try linocut yourself, you can learn online and in person. 👉

Looking for a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift? Each of my original hand-printed #linocut prints is carved and printed in my garden studio in York, inspired by the birds, wildlife and landscapes of Yorkshire.

I LOVE Japanese woodblock printing. On Thursday, I had the privilege to be invited to the Press Preview of ‘Making Waves: The Art of Japanese Woodblock Print’ at #YorkArtGallery.

It's unlikely, Claire. For now, they'll just be original prints.

🌿 NEW. Each wildflower #linocut print is inspired by some of my favourite British #wildflowers. Choose from Harebells, Meadow Cranesbill and Wild Carrot. My favourite is the wild carrot. Which one do you prefer?

They’ll definitely be there then. They come to the Dales to nest. Where are you going to?

It’s been a beautiful sunny day in York. I’ve had lunch in my garden, listening to the birds, which is absolutely delightful. This afternoon, I’ve been signing books in my studio for customers to pick up this week and next.

First curlews of the year in the Yorkshire Dales! 😍A circular walk from Hebden to Grassington. So joyful to hear curlews back in the Dales for nesting season.

It was near Strensall a few weeks ago. My friend went back last week and there were only a few left. It’s was by the bridge over the beck on Haxby Moor Road before you come into the village from Haxby.

Mesmerising #starling #Murmuration near #York a few weeks ago. It’s hard to put into words quite how wonderful they are to watch.

I took this edition of Towards Roseberry to the Post office today. It was bought using an online gift card from a group of friends who used to live in the area. I hope it brings them many happy memories for years to come. 😊

The final carved lino block for my long-tailed tit linocut print. I find carving away the negative space so satisfying.

Here I’m carving back the non-printing areas of my long-tailed tit linocut print. It’s often when designs start to come to life.

A peak of one of the new linocut prints featured in my new book, Printing Birds and Wildlife in Linocut. This is the start of carving a long-tailed tit print, where I’ve carved in the key lines. I often have a flock of them fly by my studio window.
