Bronwen Thomas is a printmaker working in a variety of relief printmaking and collages from prints.
She enjoys the whole process of print-making; the back-to-front thinking through of the image design, the feel and sound of gouges cutting through plywood, the tacky sound and smell of the inks, the unpredictability of colour overlaying, the re-use of reject prints to create other images and objects...
She designs and prints slowly, as ideas emerge and time allows. No teaching, no workshops, but she loves to explain to visitors just how she makes prints, be they woodcuts, monoprints, cyanothypes, or woven collages.
Her background
She has prints, sketches and drawings since I was a child, encouraged by her artist/teacher mother, and architect father. She has spent her career as a landscape architect, preparing all designs and technical drawings by hand, plus being commissioned to produce detailed illustrations for interpretation boards and leaflets for a variety of public bodies.

Woodcuts by Bronwen Thomas
This series – currently of seven different scenes from around this ancient hill-top town in Glamorganshire – is an on-going project with more scenes and editions in progress. I aim to capture the character of the town, the ever-changing interplay of its buildings, gardens, lanes and views out to the surrounding hills and vales.
These are all multi-block hand-printed woodcut prints in limited editions on Japanese Ho-Shi paper. Size: 40 x 40cm.
Giclee prints are also available, plus greeting cards.
