Printmaking
As a photographer Mark has always had a passion for a traditional way of life and an interest in traditional skills and crafts which is reflected in his photographic work. Inspired by the makers he meets Mark started carving lino using traditional methods & an old french book press. This year Mark is exhibiting his photography and his printmaking.

Just 2 years ago Mark rediscovered linocutting after doing a few linocuts back at his Foundation course in Art and Design in 1994. Mark loves the artisanal process of carving the lino, inking the plate then printing either by hand or with his old French book press on beautiful handmade printing paper. Mark will be demonstrating his linocutting and possibly even have his vintage French book press with him. Limited edition prints and postcards will be available to purchase at the bakery.
