Meet Your Tutor - katy upton

Katy is a printmaker creating original, hand printed linocut prints, cards and gifts. She sketches original designs, transfers them onto lino blocks, carves them by hand and prints them by hand using relief printmaking inks and a press or baren. Katy runs Letters & Lino, working from her garden studio in Gloucestershire and is inspired by the surrounding nature and changing seasons.

Katy has recently begun offering workshops in linocut printmaking for both adults and children, and loves watching people who have stepped nervously into the room having never tried linoprinting walk out with a beautiful edition of prints they are proud of, and a big smile on their face! She is always fascinated by the variety of designs her students create, all using the same medium.
