Annabel Wilkes Printmaking - Open Studios

Annabel uses reusable and found natural materials to create collagraph, monoprint and cyanotype prints.

This year, Annabel welcomes you to her printmaking studio at Bosulval Studios surrounded by beautiful countryside in Newmill, near Penzance. Annabel creates collagraph, monoprint and cyanotype prints by using reusable and collected natural objects. She is fascinated by the sub tropical plants found in Cornwall and attempts to capture the fragility of nature and the effects of climate change. Annabel collects subject matter from tropical gardens and coastal walks, gleaning ideas for her botanical prints.

Annabel will explain the processes used in her work and show you the set up of her print studio. She will be giving demonstrations on mono-printing, an effective and simple print technique using an etching press. Annabel will also running a workshop on 1st June for 10 people outside, giving you a chance to explore these techniques using natural materials and colourful inks. See details on Cornwall 365 listing. This is also an opportunity to sign up for a taster print workshop during the summer months!

There will be a selection of cyanotype prints, monoprints and collagraph prints for sale, both framed and unframed. Bosulval studios is part of a collective of artists who work there throughout the year. There is parking and disabled access.
