MEET YOUR TUTOR - ann-margreth bohl

Ann-Margreth Bohl is a sculptor and installation artist and has been a tutor at New Brewery Arts for the past 15 years. She first experienced stone carving over 20 years ago when she trained as an art therapist.

To this day she is inspired by the physicality of stone and the ability to work creatively with this ancient and lasting material.

Within her current practise stone is not always carved, her inquiry into this ancient material and materials like light and sound are anchored in their phenomenology which she explores through drawing and by creating site specific installations.

She enjoys teaching in an informal way, passing on the skills and knowledge of stonecarving that she has acquired from stonemasons and stone sculptors over the years.

She believes that every student has a unique way of working and engaging with form through the process of carving.
