Maker’s Choice – Rebecca Denton

I’m Rebecca Denton and I’m a painter/printmaker based in North London. I create unique, handcrafted prints and original illustrations.

I’m coming to Homeworks on Sunday 2 December with a selection of my prints and etchings.

I exhibit all over the UK, have work archived in the V+A and my etchings can be seen permanently at the Southbank Printmakers Gallery.

I work from my own rough sketches and ideas, combining various techniques.

I do love to create etchings and combining this ancient form of printmaking with original ideas. I enjoy every step of the process... from redrawing my pencil sketch onto a grounded zinc plate to adding various techniques for tone and texture.

The most exciting part is pulling the first print, as the result can be quite unexpected! The plate is inked for every print in the small edition making each one truly unique.

 

My favourite place to find inspiration:

Everywhere really... my sketchbook, imagination, holidays and childhood memories.

Come and meet Rebecca at Homeworks on Sunday 2 December.
