Welcome to the Curious Printmaker website
The Curious Printmaker website is all about printmaking, especially experimental techniques.
Emily Harvey
I am a Yorkshire based printmaker, I make original prints and run short printmaking courses from my studio near York.
I love to experiment with different printmaking techniques, particularly collagraphs, as this involves an inventive approach with plenty of improvisation.
For collagraphs the printing plate is like a collage made up of different textures and materials. It is printed both as intaglio and relief so the finished prints contain several layers of colour.
Much of my work has a social dimension, created as part of an artist’s residency in a particular place, or in a community setting where people work together on a collective creative project.
If you are passing York Library call in to see the ‘York Panorama’ a cast panel I made, based on peoples’ stories of York. This public art work is permanently installed on the first-floor landing.
