Enjoy the process | Creative conversations | Ep.3 | Lou Tonkin Printmaker

IN THIS VIDEO: Pull up a chair because it's the next episode in our creative conversations series- episode 3! You may also like to pop this on in the background and listen whilst you work or on your lunch break. Let me now introduce you to Lou. She is an illustrator and printmaker working in Cornwall. She lives with her 3 children and dog above her print shop-studio in Penryn. Her shop is called Seven Broad Street and stocks primarily her carved print work as well as a few other crafty products from her talented friends. The shop just opens on Wednesdays which leaves the rest of her time to create and carve beautiful patterns and prints for a range of products. Her inspiration is taken almost exclusively from her local environment and she is fascinated with nature and hedgerows. We chat about her art, her print process and why learning traditional craft methods are still important in today's digital world. Lou's TOP TIPS : Don't worry, enjoy the process and remember to look around you! Grab your favourite beverage and join me for this interesting creative chat.
