Devils's Kitchen (Wood engraving)

Wood Engraving

20 x 14 cm

The Devil's Kitchen refers to a large crack in the cliffs along the southern side of Cwm Idwal, between the mountain peaks Glyder Fawr and Y Garn in the Snowdonia National Park. The Devil’s Kitchen gets its name because mist regularly rises up through the crack, it looks like smoke going up a chimney. In Welsh, The Devil's Kitchen is known as Twll Du, meaning black hole.

These prints are original wood engravings. I engrave on boxwood or lemon wood blocks using traditional hand tools. Then I ink up the block and print the edition one at a time. Each print is an original artist print.
