Julia Timmins is an artist and printmaker living and working in rural Shropshire. Profoundly influenced by the natural world, Julia creates keenly observed and finely detailed wood engravings and other prints using traditional tools and techniques. She invites the viewer to explore the wonders of our environment through her eyes
"Nature’s ephemeral, ever-evolving beauty has always fascinated me. The delicate balance of the ecosystem inspires me to capture its intricate details and organic patterns in my work.
Through my art I seek to celebrate the diversity and interconnectedness of life on earth and encourage others to deepen their connection with nature."
I am delighted to be taking part in this very popular and enjoyable event, held each year in Bridgnorth, showcasing local artists and craftspeople.
Julia will be talking about wood engraving and demonstrating this intricate technique in the Print Prize Exhibition at the RBSA Gallery, Birmingham, on Saturday 9th March. Please come along if you would like to learn more about this fascinating technique or watch Julia engraving a block.

This is a special year for the Society of Wood Engravers as we celebrate our Centenary.
It was founded in 1920 by artists including Eric Gill, Gwen Raverat, Robert Gibbings, Philip Hagreen and Lucien Pissarro. A break during the war years and then again in the 1970s meant that the annual exhibition ceased for a time, hence this being the 82nd show. Since the revival in 1984, the SWE has built a reputation for excellence, attracting exhibitors and collectors from around the world.
The Society exists to promote wood engraving, but also embraces all forms of relief printing, which makes this show a fascinating and affordable collection of images inspired by a wide range of subjects.
2016 – 2018
This is the first time that these eighty engravings that form the Seasons Project have been shown together. The project took nearly three years to complete and includes work by SWE members from this country and around the world
The decision to produce four sets of twenty engravings by each of twenty artists was partly to mark our 2020 centenary, but also as a way of showing the work of as many of our members as possible at this special time.

From November Tŷ Pawb will host the return of the biennial Print International exhibition. Over 85 artists from 8 different countries including the US, Canada and Japan have been selected for the exhibition by a panel of judges.
‘I have had two Dry Point prints from my Venice collection selected for this international Print exhibition’.
This exhibition is a showcase for some of the best wood engravings from members of the Society of Wood Engravers who have drawn their inspiration from the coast and the countryside and the varied flora and fauna that thrive in it. Whilst contemporary wood engravers all use the same tools and techniques as those developed over 200 years ago, the prints display a huge variety of personal interpretations and styles.

Wood engraving is a centuries old technique; it is at once the simplest and one of the most exquisite forms of printmaking. Wood engravings tend to be closely worked and relatively small because of the finely pointed tools that are used. The finesse of wood engraving produces a particularly rich tonal range and therefore they are usually, but by no means exclusively, black and white.
Inspiration for the prints in this exhibition has been drawn from the coast and countryside and the varied flora and fauna that thrive in it.
This exhibition will be on display in the Granary Art Gallery, set in the grounds of Weston Park. The Granary Art Gallery is open daily 11am – 4pm and is free to enter
The Fayre kicks off at 10.00 although many Much Wenlock Shops are open before this! Throughout the day there is a variety of performances and entertainment for children and for the young at heart too (listen out for the Town Crier who will be announcing events as they are due to start), complementing the eclectic mix of over 100+ festive stalls each selling their unique merchandise. The day ends with an atmospheric candle lit procession down the High Street and traditional carol singing on the Square at 16.30, including the Christmas Lights being switched on.
