Artist in Residence

At present I am artist in residence at Turn End Studio, Turn End, Haddenham (link) furthering the use of the garden and house for the Trust.

I am still using the garden as inspiration but am trying to be more environmentally responsible in my use of materials. As you know in the past I have used the garden, Patterned Landscapes (link) as the base for my ideas and used the house, Turn End Reflections (link) and plants from the garden as my printing material, Turn End Herbarium (link). This winter I have been experimenting making dye and ink from garden plants and from the trimmings from Turn End trees. Ink Experiments (link). I have also made a pledge that I will try to use up paper and material that I have had in store for a while. Reflect, Reuse and Recycle are my themes for the future. To that end I am going back to my roots and doing work with textiles but still in book forms. When you visit please pop in and see the new work I am producing.

As part of the residency there will be workshops offered for small numbers of participants to use the garden and house as a resource to produce imagery text for Book Arts.

Please contact Heather on info@hunterbooks.co.uk if you are interested. Please see blog for up to date information on what workshops are currently available.

Outside the studio I am available to run one or two day workshops for groups.

I make books not out of habit, but because I think and feel book.
