Hello, welcome to my site. My name is Rachel, and I am an eco printmaker and tutor in the Brecon Beacons in Wales. My prints and lamps feature ink that I have made from the landscape, either from the pigments I find in pebbles foraged from the river or beautiful colours from plants that I process into light stable and earth friendly oil based inks. This way of working is very special, it connects me to the landscape around, and gives a deeper appreciation of the natural world.
I also teach printmaking workshops and courses both in the local area, and at my studio near Crickhowell which is part of a small group of farm buildings that have been converted into art spaces. It is a natural and beautiful place with views across the mountains. You feel immersed in nature and inspired to be creative.
I welcome small groups, families and individuals, but can also accommodate larger parties and special occassions at a hired venue.
The workshops are fun and relaxed, a time where you can learn new skills, and take away a finished item that will be proud of.
I provide all of your materials, equipment and aprons, and refreshments are available all day. Please bring a packed lunch if coming for a full day.
You can book in on a day that suits you, so please do e-mail or phone to check availability, discuss the possibilities or ask any questions you may have.
If you have any special requests for a bespoke course, please ask and I will try my very best to accommodate you.
Thank you
I REGRET THAT AS IT IS A WORKING STUDIO, VISITS ARE BY BOOKING ONLY. PLEASE CALL IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS A VISIT.
