ANN BURNHAM PRINTMAKER
My prints are inspired by the rolling countryside, hedgerow-lined lanes, and winding coastal paths that shape the landscape around me. My creative process often begins with a fleeting moment - a tree bent by the wind, or a path disappearing into the horizon. These glimpses are captured in sketches and photographs during my walks, later evolving into designs for my prints.
Working in reduction linocut, I carefully plan each stage of cutting and layering to build the intricate colours and textures that define my work. Every print reflects my connection to the landscape and the quiet details that give it life.
My work is widely exhibited and held in private collections, with permanent displays at Greenwich Printmakers Gallery, Wychwood Gallery, Hancock Gallery, and New Ashgate Gallery.

WORKSHOPS
I have recently moved to Devon and will be running workshops Maggie Smith at Hillcrest Studio, Goveton, near Kingsbridge. This is a spacious studio set in beautiful countryside.



1 DAY INTRODUCTION TO LINOCUT
14th January
This one day workshop is a great place to start if you’re new to printing or an equally good refresher. Design and cut a single block and make several prints, exploring different ways of introducing colour from the same block. Strong imagery and decorative pattern work well with this medium. You’ll go home with a unique set of editioned prints.
2 DAY REDUCTION LINOCUT
27th & 28th January
Use photos or your sketchbook to plan and transfer your image to the block. Cut away gradually at the lino, printing a new colour after every stage. More lino is removed for each layer and each colour is printed on top of the last, working from light to dark, the image slowly emerges. You’ll produce a set of layered prints.
1 DAY INTRODUCTION TO MONOPRINT
25th February
Learn to make prints using simple stencil shapes inked and layered on to a
background plate. Draw, use inked up rollers, paint directly onto the plate, each print will be unique!
