Hello, I'm Joanna Pass, a printmaker and illustrator based in Lincolnshire.

Printmaking

Inspired by my own observations and experiences with wildlife and nature, I create illustrative handmade prints that are also influenced by my love for pattern, shape and design.  Working with relief and intaglio printmaking techniques, I spend time observing and taking photographs before creating my prints back in my studio. 

All my prints are original, not digital reproductions or giclee prints.  Every print design starts with a sketch before being 'painted', carved or 'etched 'into a plate.  Each one has been inked and skillfully printed either by hand (using a glass baren and a wooden spoon) or passed through my etching press.
