Scilly Isles Prints

Expect a new series of prints later in the year from the sketchbooks we've just filled up on our recent trip to St. Martin's on the Isles of Scilly.  In the past, our trips here have provided us with material for several large linocuts and a recent monoprint of Hell Bay which I created as a demonstration during one of our printmaking courses at the Strawbale Gallery in May.  ST. Martins is known for its seabirds, sandy beaches and its rocky exposed northern shore which is exposed to the Atlantic rollers. In the photograph above, Rosie is sketching the causeway (only exposed at low tide) between St. Martins and White Island from Tinkler's Hill.
