Printing with linocuts, a not-very promising start, but perseverance pays off

Oxfordshire-based printmaker Gerry Coles didn't have the best start to her linocut experience, but with perseverance, she discovered an art form she was passionate about, and good at!

Discover how Gerry, a creative youngster, trod a different path after school, but discovered the artistic practice she now loves on a visit to Bath.

I attend one of Gerry's workshops

When Gerry invited me to one of her printmaking workshops my initial reaction was that there was no way I would go because I would be rubbish.
Regular listeners will have heard me saying that that should not be a reason for not trying a new creative activity, so of course I told myself off, and told Gerry I'd love to go.Ā Find out how I got on, and hear from a few of the other students about their attitudes to getting creative in adulthood.
