Alison Read

Printmaker

Specialising in hand-made original prints using linocut, screen printing, woodcut and etching, Alison Read's art-world is populated by mad-cap, quirky animals from hairy hares named 'Elvis' to 'Bonnie and Clyde' the cows. 


Brought up on a farm, Alison studied art at Newcastle University before running the Printmaking Workshop at Lincoln University for nine years. Whilst there she also completed her MA Degree before becoming a full-time artist.

"I love all forms of printmaking. I like the hands-on nature of producing a plate and its immediacy. I don't keep highly detailed sketchbooks . . . I think this is why my images are quirky".  

You can see more of Alison's menagerie at our gallery in Saffron Walden.
