Swimming in Snowdonia (Eryri) is an original linocut print depicting nude wild swimmers in a lake or ocean in Snowdonia national park
This print is hand relieved with a hand-carved linocut block. This process starts by carving a linoleum (either Japanese or battleship) block with a design, then inking the block and using the Etching press to print the image onto the paper.
The paper is heavyweight 280 gsm premium quality printmaking paper. It is 60% cotton, acid-free and archival. this means that is it 'long life' standard therefore giving the assurance of excellent conservation over time. Linocut printing is a traditional process where the paper picks up some of the stray marks (or "chatter") left intentionally on the block.
This unframed print is signed and shipped using environmentally responsible packaging. Each impression varies subtly, resulting in unique textures that highlight the intricate nature of relief printmaking. Produced on demand, every print is a distinct creation.
