DelARTful Designs by Sarah Delahoy

I am an artist and printmaker working from my print studio in the grounds of my home on Harrow Hill in the Forest of Dean, where I also run printmaking workshops.
My prints are mostly in linocut and collagraph and more recently I have been combining both techniques. Linocut is a process where sharp cutting tools are used to cut away part of the flat surface of a block of linoleum. After cutting, the remaining surface is inked with a roller and printed on my antique relief press, or by hand using my trusty wooden spoon! To create my collagraph printing plates I add marks and textures to a piece of mountboard, like a collage, before inking using the intaglio method and printing on my Gunning etching press.
As well as limited edition prints, I also print my designs onto cards, sketchbooks, bags, coasters, keyrings and enamel mugs.
My current work is inspired by the natural world with a focus on wildlife and landscapes, but I also like to explore retro imagery from my childhood.
I enjoy the endless possibilities of creating a printing block or plate and the magic and excitement of pulling the first print never fades.
Joining me in my studio for Far Open this year will be Lorna Olivia Neilson, who will be exhibiting her paintings of animals, landscapes and portraits.
