A Printmaker’s View - with Angela Harding

This is a recording of a lecture given at the St Bride Foundation on 15th February 2024 at the St Bride Foundation.
British wildlife has always inspired artist Angela Harding. She usually makes her work in a studio at the bottom of her garden which overlooks sheep fields surrounded by gentle sloping hills, spends summers with her husband on a small wooden sailboat exploring the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts and widely travels different corners of the UK from the Fair Isle to Cornwall.
Angela always carries a sketchbook on these trips - drawing on the landscape and wildlife that surrounds her. Back in the studio she uses a combination of drawing and imagination to create the iconic linocuts and illustrations that we all know and love.
Join us at the St Bride Foundation for an evening inspired by art, nature and an appreciation of the world around us to discover insights into the work and process of this remarkable artist.
Angela Harding is an author, printmaker and illustrator who lives in the village of Wing, Rutland. She is the author and illustrator of A Year Unfolding: A Printmaker’s View and Wild Light: A Printmaker’s Day and Night. Angela has also created the covers for many bestselling books including October, October by Katya Balen (winner of the Yoto Carnegie Medal 2022) and Blossomise by Simon Armitage among many others.
