Featured Events in Barnstaple in July 2025 (June Updated)

Learn to cut and print a colour woodblock, registering two blocks in relation to each other for exciting results. Bring ideas or come with an open mind. All materials provided. Some previous experience with relief printing helpful but not essential. Merlyn Chesterman RE is a local printmaker and on the Council of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, exhibiting around the UK and internationally, as well as a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Merlyn was brought up in Hong Kong, returning to England to study Fine Art at Bath Academy of Art, under Adrian Heath in the 1960s. She then lived, travelled and exhibited in Asia for many years, spending time in Bhutan, Kashmir, China and Thailand, followed by some years in Minnesota, USA. Merlyn’s work is mostly about atmosphere – seeing and feeling what is around her. Driven by a sense of excitement, she works fundamentally at an abstract level with a secondary, literal surface. Themes include beauty, danger, remoteness, weather and mystery. Merlyn works with different woods, choosing boards for their particular character, and prints large prints on Okawara, Rives BFK and Somerset Satin. She uses oil-based, water-washable ink, often grading colour on the roller. By booking an event at Studio KIND., you agree to our cancellation policy, which states that no refunds will be issued for cancellations made less than two weeks before the event date.

Studio KIND. reserves the right to modify or cancel events as necessary, in which case full refunds will be provided or otherwise a postponement to a later date workshop.
