The Thurlestone at Watern Tor

9.5 x 12 cm

Wood engraving

The Thurlestone is the name given to the two northern piles at Watern Tor, Dartmoor. A beautiful tor and one of the best examples of horizontal jointing on Dartmoor. I love walking on Dartmoor, but you have to prepared for all weathers as it can, and does, change dramatically.

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.

No. of prints in edition: 100
