About Annabel
Workshops focus on enjoyment and building confidence for both children and adult creatives. This includes spending time foraging for natural materials, experimenting and playing with print and it’s endless possibilities.
Annabel has a passion for teaching printmaking to all ages and abilities. She delivers a variety of print workshops at her studio in Newmill, near Zennor as well as Porthmeor Print Workshop in St Ives, Cornwall.
Annabel offers relief printing, monoprinting, collagraph and cyanotype printing for both individuals or larger groups. Annabel also delivers print workshops to school groups as well as families at St Ives Community Orchard, and adult groups at Trebah Gardens, St Ives School of Painting and Cornwall School of Art in Truro.
Annabel’s own work focuses on using natural and refound materials collected from coastal walks and subtropical gardens. She prints from selected flora onto a variety of printmaking papers, sometimes mixing printmaking with alternative photographic processes.
Annabel also offers art retreats which includes accommodation and tutoring at a print studio. She creates a unique tailor made experience for those who wish to learn new printing techniques whilst enjoying a weekend stay in the artistic community of St Ives.
