About this Event

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have your own hand-printed card to take home and share with friends and family.
No previous experience is needed, just come along and enjoy trying something new in a relaxed and friendly setting.
All materials will be provided and light refreshments including tea, coffee and biscuits, will be served.
AccessibilityThe Field Studies Room is fully accessible.

About the Tutor
Kate Miller is a North East-based printmaker and the first NHSN Artist in Residence at Gosforth Nature Reserve. Inspired by time spent outdoors, her work captures both sweeping landscapes and the small, often overlooked details of the natural world.
With over 30 years’ experience in printmaking, Kate specialises in linocut, a hands-on and accessible technique she loves for its tactile, expressive qualities. Her practice is rooted in observation, and she is passionate about encouraging others to slow down, look closely, and engage creatively with nature.
During her residency, Kate has been exploring the reserve through walking, sketching and conversation with visitors, creating new work inspired entirely by the site.
