Welcome

My name is Alexandra Buckle. I have been a full time professional printmaker and artist since 2012, I live in Bicester, Oxfordshire, where I have set up my own home printmaking studio.
I'm inspired by countryside walks and excited by light, shadow and colour. I enjoy capturing my favourite scenery as hand printed reduction linocuts. This relief printing technique involves cutting and printing several layers of colour from the same block of lino in order to build up an image. 

I teach private lino printing classes and workshops at my home studio in Bicester and group workshops at Claydon Gallery in Buckinghamshire. I can tailor my workshops to artists or printmakers wishing to improve their skills, or to complete beginners.

I am a founder member of the Buckinghamshire Craft Guild based in Stoke Mandeville.

Latest information: Announcing this year's challenge!

I plan to complete 25 linocuts in 2019, and alongside these prints I will also create 50 mini paintings. I am interested to see whether the paintings begin to influence the prints and vice versa. Watch this space! 
Here is my first print and my first two paintings, titled Lakeside Puddles...

The Great Print Exhibition 2018/2019


Friday 9 November 2018 – Sunday 3 February 2019. Open daily, 10am-5pm. Free entry

This is my first year taking part in this exhibition which boasts being the largest exhibition of its kind in the UK. With over 350 framed artworks on the wall by over 60 printmakers from up and down Britain, it’s an excellent chance to see and buy original art. This year the exhibition includes an array of new artists who haven’t shown in the exhibition before, as well as some firm favourites from previous years returning.
You’ll be able to learn about this widely varied art form, with information on how different prints are made and videos showing artists making their work, along with examples of tools and printing plates used to create prints.
