Theresa Easton
Crafts

Theresa Easton is predominantly a printmaker, using a wide range of printing techniques to make public artwork, responding to commission briefs as well as initiating her own projects, collaborations and exhibitions with artists' books.

Her interest lies in maintaining traditional printmaking skills in a piece of work, while introducing new substrates, contexts and forms that can be interpreted by a range of printmaking processes.

Her inspiration is based on the tradition of reproduction in printmaking and the ability to create connections through the making process between materials such as glass, paper, ceramics and metal. Easton enjoys the hands on experience of making work and regularly delivers workshops in her shared studio at 36 Lime St. Easton's studio practice produces printed glass, china and artists' books for exhibition and sale.

Studio visits by appointment.
