Skopelos Works on Paper at Mylos Studio / Skopelos



STEPH BOLT + GAYE PATERSON
2 weeks of art & culture on a beautiful island in
Greece
25 May -
7 June 2015

Late one warm summer evening in June I silently slipped into the harbor of Skopelos. This was the beginning of a long love affair. The friendships remain as strong as ever. The island constantly inspires my art. With a degree in graphic design I have moved between photography, publishing and drawing but mostly printmaking. Much of my time has been in Europe, as an artist, a tutor and as an artist in residence. These skills and the beauty of Skopelos I wish to share with you. In these 14 days whilst we explore the island I will take you through printmaking techniques at a level you are comfortable with but pushing you beyond the traditional techniques with individual attention. During my many residencies I have balanced an understanding of the culture I am placed in and been able to produce a portfolio of work that has pushed my skills and understanding of the medium.
