ARTWORKS: Meet the Artist : Printmaker Bryan Whiteley

Today, Tuesday 9 September 2014, Bryan Whiteley will be at the Artworks exhibition demonstrating relief printmaking in woodcuts and linocuts. Brian Whiteley will be in the demonstration area of the Artworks exhibition from 10.15 am – 4.30 pm.

Bryan Whiteley says: I am inspired by the natural environment and love the disciplined and therapeutic aspect of cutting the block and the suspense as the print is pulled.
