Golden Eye Art

My name is Stuart Wilkie and I am an artist and printmaker with an open studio at Farfield Mill in Sedbergh. I have a longstanding interest in relief printmaking using lino and wood engraving. In December 2021 I took up residence at Farfield Mill.

I draw my inspiration from the natural world and the abundant beauty of the landscape of Cumbria. Wood engraving has always fascinated me as it relies on carving fine detail on the end grain of boxwood and effectively drawing in light. I also use Lino for relief printmaking.

My studio is open from Wednesday to Sunday and is open to any one wishing to visit the Farfield Mill in Sedbergh. I am happy to discuss my work and the techniques involved as well as printing in action using my wonderful 1868 Albion Press.
