We are very fortunate to have an extremely talented wood engraver living locally. He is enchanted by the Chalke Valley and has made many fine engravings of local views, such as 'Knowle Hill' (Broadchalke) opposite.
We have examples of Howard's work here and can arrange for guests to visit his studio, where prints are available for sale.
Howard Phipps (b.1954) is a painter, printmaker and illustrator with a special interest in wood engraving. He studied painting at the Gloucestershire College of Art between 1971 and 1975 specialising in engraving since the late 1970's.
Howard is a member of The Royal West of England Academy and the Society of Wood Engravers. He has been a frequent exhibitor at R.A Summer Exhibitions where he was awarded the Christie's Contemporary Print Award for a colour wood engraving. In 2004 he received the Landscape Engraving Prize at The National Print Exhibition in London, for the second successive year.
