About the Artist

Helen studied ‘Art – practice and theory’ at Lancaster University (2001), where she made her first etchings anduauehcghv1pdgkfjmmjfgfok_1q monoprints. After moving to Suffolk, she studied with Jude Lockie and made her first linocuts, which have become her main method of producing art ever since.

Helen now creates limited edition linocuts from her home studio in Suffolk. She enjoys Black and white designs for their bold, graphic quality and the mark-making potential of the medium. Coloured designs are created using the ‘reduction method’ where each colour is printed one at a time and further lino is carved away in between printing.

What you will need to bring

All materials and equipment are included, so all you need to bring is reference photos, magazine pictures, etc. Just bare in mind you will be aiming to complete a finished print in the day and you will need to simplify your images into a printable design.
