Welcome
Welcome to my website. My name is Alexandra Buckle. I have been a full time professional printmaker since 2012. I was previously based near Buckingham and I am now living in Bicester, Oxfordshire.
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. Reduction prints are sometimes referred to as suicide prints.
I teach private lino printing classes and workshops at my home studio in Bicester.

Artists at Green Dragon for Bucks Open Studios
16th June - 25th June
Join us for a late open evening with Pimms and nibbles, Friday 23rd 6-8pm!
I'm exhibiting at the Green Dragon Eco Centre along with 11 other local artists as part of Bucks Open Studios. Media represented includes painting, printmaking, textiles, illustration, ceramics, metal sculpture, and silver jewellery. There will be opportunity to talk to the artists as well as see them at work as they will be demonstrating their artistic practice throughout the event. In addition, they will have a wonderful array of art on display and for sale. There will also be art materials provided for you or your kids to have-a-go throughout the exhibition.
This year, we have been working to include the local community and have invited North Bucks Primary Schools to enter a competition to create 2D and 3D dragons made from recycled materials. The finished dragons will be displayed at The Green Dragon Eco Centre for the visiting public to view and vote on their winner. The competition is also part of Children’s Art Week. Last year, more than 13,000 people took part in an amazing 109 events across 95 wonderful venues all around the UK.
On Tuesday 20th June we will welcome Buckinghamshire potter Elaine Wells (recent contestant from BBC 2’s Great Pottery Throwdown) as a guest. Elaine will spend the afternoon (2pm – 6pm) on her wheel demonstrating her craft.
The Green Dragon Eco Centre boasts, ample free parking, wheelchair access, child friendly activities, and an Eco Café serving delicious homemade food and cakes. See their website here

I was really happy with the prints I completed last year but a little disappointed I didn't find time to create more. I am determined that this year will be different!
