Work with me — Printmaking & Writing

Printmaking and Drawing

I teach printmaking and drawing across full-days and half-days on an individual basis, and run printmaking workshops for groups by invitation. Processes can include linocut, wood engraving, monotype, or charcoal.

I welcome beginners and also those wishing to develop their technique further. My teaching is led by your needs and you can work either with material that you bring with you or with templates that I provide.

An full day introduction to linocut would typically include:

  • The safe use of tools

  • Preparing lino for cutting

  • Design transfer

  • Mark making and work upon a print

  • Hand-pressing

At the end of a full day, you will likely come away with one or two of your own hand-pressed prints.

Teaching is run from my home studio. If you would like to enquire, please get in touch.

Writing and Tutoring

I offer one-to-one support in academic writing, working with students to develop clarity, structure, and confidence in their work.

My approach is conversational and process-based. Rather than correcting or editing writing at a surface level, I focus on how ideas are formed, organised, and expressed. Sessions are shaped around the individual, starting from where they are and developing the capacity to articulate ideas and to write with greater independence.

I have extensive experience in supporting undergraduate and postgraduate students and academic staff, including those who are dyslexic and international students working in English as an additional language. Previously, I have held roles as:

  • Head of Skills Development and founding Head of the Study Skills Centre, Bangor University

  • Writing Centre Coordinator, Liverpool Hope University

  • English for Academic Purposes Course Coordinator and English Language Tutor, Aberystwyth University

The support that I offer may include:

  • developing structure and argument

  • working through drafts

  • understanding assignment requirements

  • building confidence in writing

  • establishing sustainable working practices

Sessions are offered online.
