About the Artist
Redruth Press is a collaboration between two artists, Caroline Wilkins and Tony Minnion. They use a mobile screen printing workshop to instigate conversations at different places and events in Cornwall. They also run workshop sessions with hands-on engagement sharing accessible poster printing processes.
Redruth Press reproduce their punchy poster designs in a range of different products for public display.
Caroline Wilkins is a print maker/contemporary artist working with print processes on and with objects to make large scale installations. With over 25 years of teaching experience, including many spent working with children excluded from mainstream education, she now delivers printmaking classes for adults and works on commissioned art projects.

About the Venue
The Old Clotworthy Building was once a thriving shop that has now fallen into disrepair. It represents all the dilemmas of High Streets as our shopping and social habits change. The fly posted wall will use this context to consider what the future holds for a small town like Redruth and its main thoroughfare.
