Dehlia Barnard-Edmunds is a printmaker/creative, exploring the diverse and exciting world of print. Currently, she is enjoying the process of linocut printing, monotypes, screen printing on paper and textiles plus collaging.

Dehlia has displayed her work at venues across the country and welcomes the public to her workspace during PAOS Open Studios weekends and also by appointment.

Becoming a recent member of Leicester Print Workshop, Dehlia has been able to broaden her knowledge and practice to interpret her designs using other modes of printmaking such as silkscreen printing using CMYK, a four colour layered approach.

Taking her inspiration mainly from what excites and interests her in her rural surroundings, Dehlia's drawings and watercolour sketches form the basis of designs that are then carefully printed by hand. Ask her about any of her works and Dehlia will be happy to tell you the tale behind it.

Recent works include collages inspired by her ever growing collection of ceramics using papers created from cleaning off her print making tools. The colours and textures created were simply too beautiful not to include in her artworks!

Current work is interspersed with small linocut prints inspired by her travels. These tiny studies are printed using her Adana Press, a small press originally designed for letterpress printing. I wonder if you can guess where she has been...

Dehlia is an experienced teacher offering classes and tutorials, which can be discussed on your visit. The garden is open and refreshments offered.

Fundamentally my work is all about drawing and mark making; I find it difficult to separate myself from their vitality and importance whether I choose painting, collage, printmaking - or a mixture of the three, ‘Drawing’ is what it continues to be about. ‘Drawing’ with a paintbrush or in collage ‘drawing’ with shapes of paper and colour. Setting in motion the development of an idea plus a sense of renewal and continuation.
