Joanna Williams Art Joanna creates hand produced lino prints for nature lovers who enjoy original art for the home.

Thousands of tiny cuts. Countless cups of tea. Wondering if it will turn out right. But worth every minute.

On average, my larger lino prints take around six weeks to create, from the first sketch to the final print.

Each one is carved, inked, and printed entirely by my own hand.

I tend to work in short bursts before the day job begins, slowly bringing each piece to life one cut at a time.

It’s a long process that requires patience, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.

From the first sketch to the carved lino block and finally the finished print, every line, texture, and detail has been meticulously created by hand.

It’s a craft that requires patience, plenty of tea, and a willingness to trust the process right until the end.

Seeing the original lino block next to the finished lino print is always a reminder that the worthwhile things in life take time and shouldn’t be hurried.

You can find my ‘The Secret Kingfisher’ linocut in my online store along with a selection of lino prints to suit any home.

Before the emails. Before the day gets busy. I always make time to carve.

Each weekday morning I always make time to work on my current lino block before the day starts to get busy and loud.

In my quiet studio, with my record player, trusty lino tools and block, I work to create something special that shares my memories and experiences of the Cornish coast.

I’ve had a few people ask about the shell I keep my carved lino scraps in. Like many things in my studio, it comes with a story.

A family member gave it to me after one of their many adventures, whether that was scuba diving in far-flung places or learning survival skills in the jungle, I’m never quite sure! I’ve always loved the way the colours shimmer when the light catches it just right, and it seemed the perfect place to collect the little scraps of lino that gather as a print takes shape.

There’s also a small superstition attached to it. I never empty the shell until a print is completely finished. It’s a slightly silly ritual, but one I’ve quietly adopted over time.

It’s not just a shell, but a reminder that every print begins with a pile of tiny carved pieces.

Resting and doing nothing isn’t time wasted. It’s all part of the creative process.

I’ve been taking a little break and, truth be told, I haven’t carved a single stroke.

I haven’t been anywhere fancy, just taken some time to switch off, recharge, and get ready for the second half of the year.

It reminded me that a creative reset doesn’t have to involve grand plans or far-flung adventures. Sometimes a meal deal sandwich and a walk up Cheddar Gorge are all it takes to clear the mind and bring that creative mojo back.

Now I’m feeling refreshed, inspired, and ready to get carving again.

Just a small-time lino print artist, carving my way towards the big dream.

If you’re new here, hello! I’m Joanna, a lino print artist inspired by Cornwall’s coastline, wildlife and the places that hold special memories for me.

I started lino printing just over 3 years ago and what began as a creative hobby has slowly grown into something much bigger. I sketch, carve and hand-print each piece, fitting my art around my day job and life in Cornwall.

There’s still a long way to go towards the big dream, but I’m enjoying every little step along the way.

Thanks for being here and following my journey.

After a relaxing weekend, I’m back at the carving bench and starting a new small lino print of St Ives. I’ve spent many happy days in this beautiful coastal town, especially during the quieter shoulder seasons, when its charm really shines.

My new ‘Cotehele’ lino print is now available in my online shop: https://tinyurl.com/33u3zn22

This linocut is particularly special to me, as Cotehele is where my first art gallery gave an unknown lino print artist a chance. It was an opportunity that helped shape my creative journey, and one I’ll always be grateful for.

If you find yourself in Cornwall do visit Cotehele - National Trust the house and grounds are beautiful to take a leisurely stroll around. If you head to the Bull Pen Gallery there you might even see my linocuts!

No filter needed when Cornwall is bathed in sunshine.

A new project is underway! Inspired by my time as a Wildcard Artist on Landscape Artist of the Year, I’m creating a series of small linocut prints inspired by postcards sent from Cornwall.

I’ve shared the story behind the project on my blog: https://tinyurl.com/n5j9t7cm
