Sally Cunis

I am constantly experimenting with different forms of print, often overlaying them to achieve a variety of effects. Working in a newly refurbished stone studio in the garden, I am surrounded by the plants and garden birds which inspire my designs. Initial pencil and ink sketches are transferred onto lino blocks prior to carving. Blocks may by tiny or vast depending on the subject. Inks may be mixed and a fade may be used across a block to give colour variation. An old book binding press, a wooden spoon, a hand-held Slama or baren and my new multi-purpose press are all put into service depending on the scale and complexity of the print to be pulled ! I love handmade paper. We have even made some sheets ourselves, in the kitchen, in a wheelbarrow. Great fun but somewhat messy!

My studio will be open 11am – 5pm for visits on the following days:

• Sunday May 4th
• Monday May 5th
• Saturday May 10th
• Sunday May 11th

Old stone studio, art work on display; demonstration of simple printing process with explanation of various methods. Chance to do a simple print.

• Visitors to the studio will be able to buy my work

• Ground floor
• Single storey building across a lawn. One low stone step to access.
