This is a short clip from Printmaker Julia Manning's website showing a bit about her techniques and inspirations. I have admired her woodcuts and etchings for a fair while now, especially her birds, so I thought I'd point her out to you - I certainly found it fascinating to see this snapshot into her studio!
Woodcut is something I've been itching to try myself for years since a brief foray at Foundation Art College many years ago...
Here's a few more of her woodcuts and etchings that I really like...
'In the Beginning'
'Chit chat'
'Wotan's Wut'
'A Rebel of Ravens'
'The Sparrow Hawk that ate the Collar Dove'There are lots more fantastic prints to be seen on her website www.juliamannings.co.uk
Hop over and take a look!
