Ask An Artist - A Conversation With Printmaker Lucy Rodgers

Join Lisa Takahashi in South Somerset for a studio visit with printmaker Lucy Rodgers, exploring how personal stories, everyday objects, and the reduction linocut process shape Lucy’s colourful, expressive prints.

Lucy discusses her journey from sculpture to screen printing to relief printmaking, how painting and sketchbook drawings help her develop ideas, and the challenges and creative possibilities of reduction linocut. She shares how sentimental objects, family memories, and the South Downs landscape are inspiring a new direction in her still life prints, as well as how her wood engraving pushes her printmaking practice further. The conversation also explores finding your artistic voice, overcoming creative blocks, embracing mistakes, and learning to work with the unpredictable nature of printmaking.
