Britain's What's On Event Guide
Meet the Maker
Come and meet Kate Miller at the Heritage Centre for one of our ‘Meet the Maker’ events.
Kate is a linocut printmaker, who is inspired by being outside in the fresh air in the northeast of England. Although she’s based in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, she also loves to explore the beautiful countryside, long sandy beaches, rolling hills and historic castles in the wider region, so there is no end of inspiration to hand. Other work may concentrate on smaller details such as seedheads, pebbles, hedgerows or rock pools, but always, there’ll be a nod to nature and its beauty and intricacy.
Recently, Kate has begun an ongoing series of mini prints entitled Nature’s Cycle, celebrating the beauty and regenerative power of nature, through small found natural forms from the northeast, including flowers, cones, shells, buds and leaves. She is also beginning to explore wildlife themes in her work, with a large 14 layer red squirrel print and a new red kites print made specially to celebrate her Meet the Maker showcase here in the Derwent Valley.
A selection of Kate’s work is available to purchase for a 2 week period in our shop or directly from her on her Meet the Maker day on Saturday 6th July.
Please drop by to say hello and support local creatives and small businesses.
