About the exhibitor

David Roberston | Printmaking | Somerset

David Robertson is an artist who specialises in wood engraving. He walks and sketches in the countryside, creating engravings from these drawings back in his studio located in Bath.

Wood engravings are made on end grain wood blocks using traditional tools. Once the engraving is finished, David inks the surface of the block and prints directly from it. Each print is signed by the artist and individually numbered as part of the edition. For example, number 10/60 means the 10th print in an edition of 60.

David’s artwork is held in public collections at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and Manchester Metropolitan University as well as private collections around the world.
