Shona Branigan : Salmon Jam Press in Grizedale forest

Here at Salmon Jam Press, Moss my terrier and I are nestled in the heart of the Forest at Grizedale in the South Lakes.

My studio is Stable 5, at Grizedale Visitor centre. You are always welcome to visit and browse, chat and have a go yourself of printing trees.

I am an artist printmaker, creating Tree prints, wood engravings, woodcuts and letterpress.

I love trees and so I find the discarded pieces from fallen or cut trees, and I print them in honour of the life the tree had.

Come and meet the Yew, Oak, Elm, Douglas Fir, Cherry and Ash.

They all have their story to tell.

We stumbled across Shona's work quite by accident in a remote gallery on a break in the Lake District. We were totally engrossed, stunned, amazed and completely impressed by the imaginative, original beauty of her work. Several weeks later, after much discussion, we decided to purchase a work for our home, and chose this fantastic yew print in black ink. It hangs in pride of place in our living room, and we never tire of looking at it. It arrived very carefully packaged and beautifully framed. I wish we had more money so I could hang one of Shona's prints in every room of our house! She is one of my favourite artists. Please don't stop doing what you do Shona! Thank you so much.

Ancient Ash Tree Muker, Swaledale

The Old School Gallery, Muker, Swaledale. The 198 year old Yew print, and the Muker Ash are there. After seeing the Ash prints you can visit the Ash Tree as she still stands proudly overlooking Swaledale and just a short walk from the gallery.
