A twin-book gift pack at a new special price of our very popular titles "Norfolk Gems' and 'Suffolk Jewels'. Packaged in a specially designed cardboard sleeve, the two books have a combined retail price of £39.90. The gift pack includes both of the 168-page softback books for £36.
NORFOLK GEMS. Given the number and variety of artists located in Norfolk, it is no great surprise that this book brings together a dazzling array of styles. As an artistic destination, Norfolk has become increasingly important for wildlife, landscape and even abstract painters and printmakers. This volume is a compilation of contemporary printmaking organised by location, taking readers on a journey from the south-east to the north-west of the county.
SUFFOLK JEWELS. There is a long history of artists being based in Suffolk or visiting on a regular basis to draw, paint, sculpt or make prints in places such as Aldeburgh and Southwold. Not surprisingly, therefore, the county is rich in artistic talent. As a destination with inspiration, Suffolk is important for wildlife, landscape and even abstract painters and printmakers.
These two books were designed as companions, with a number of the artists contributing work to both. All of the work reproduced in 'Norfolk Gems' and 'Suffolk Jewels' is contributed by printmakers. Many of them also paint and some even sculpt or throw pots. However, it is their original printmaking that graces these pages. Common to both books is a desire to showcase a remarkable diversity of printmaking approach. Even within the main disciplines, namely woodcut, linocut, wood engraving, etching, mezzotint, drypoint, engraving, screen printing, collagraphs, lithographs and monoprint/monotype, there are great variations of technique and style.
