Glenda Waterworth lives in the Teesdale area of County Durham, and has her own art
studio "Graphicus" where she produces hand made greetings cards and a range of decorative giftware to commission. "I have a passion for colour and experience of a wide range of crafts. I enjoy silk painting, glass painting, mosaic, gilding, paper making, embroidery, collage, batik, rubber stamping and I have a keen interest in interior design which has led me to experiment with paint effects, faux finishes and stencilling. I enjoy all aspects of printmaking, such as lino, woodcuts, monograph and drypoint etching. It is my ambition to save up enough to buy myself a printing press and learn traditional metal engraving techniques. I'm currently working on a website and a series of images to do with voyages, while trying to find the time to restore our Edwardian house that has been sadly neglected." |
