We are very pleased
Philippa Versfeldt, our secretary,
will be introducing us to linocuts at our October meeting. Philippa had looked to explore new creative outlets after years of mastery in many drawing mediums, and with a particular love for all things black and white. The technical challenge and crisp contrasts of the most basic linocut prints demanded her attention.
After many years in art education focusing on pragmatic skills and techniques for young learners, Philippa revived a skill introduced to her many years earlier during the sole year of a Fine Arts degree. An introduction to Linocut Printing proved an invaluable, albeit delayed, kickstart into her new creative journey of printing (with ever increasing levels of challenge, complexity, and meaning). Philippa finds her inspiration in nature.
