4 Printing Artists

Block printing (woodcut)

Richelle Bergen- Southern Manitoba

I create block printed artwork, inspired by nature and botanical elements.

Each print is hand carved on artist’s linoleum, rubbing carving block or wood, and hand printed with eco-friendly inks onto premium papers.
Because of the hand printing process, each print may have slight variations, which make each one unique and original.
Each print comes titled, signed, and numbered on the front.

 

 

Screen-printing (flat-bed)

Sarah Fennell – Midlands

After graduating from Bath School of Art in 2015, Sarah set-up her design and print studio and launched her eponymous brand shortly after. She designs from her river side studio at the Maws Craft Centre, a converted tile factory.

She uses paper-cut collages  ‘to form the basis of her ideas and allows her to experiment with composition’.

 

She creates large scale stencil prints (also works digitally to create digital prints)

Sarah Fennell gave a lecture during my foundation year at Hereford art college, and I instantly fell in love with her style and the process she goes through to create her prints/designs. Her designs feel fresh and playful, as she mixes simple floral shapes and motifs with marks to contrast.
