Home Page for Joanna Radford

Joanna Radford has lived in Devon since 1975, on Dartmoor since 1981. She was a member of Dartington Print Workshop, studying under Michael Honnor, until 2008. She has exhibited work in the South West.  She is primarily a printmaker, but has developed this medium to make artists' books, very often as collaborative projects with other printmakers.  She also makes books and commemorative albums to commission.  Her work is informed by and inspired by her "other life" as a small holder, Dartmoor commoner and breeder of Dartmoor ponies and Shetland sheep.   The image on the left is a woodcut of the view from the Moor above Hannaford Old House, inspired by a ride (on a Dartmoor pony) during Devon Open Studios last year.

Early Morning Shopping,Ashburton
This is a wood engraving cut on a Marley tile (remember those?!) which we inherited when we bought this house in 1981...

Chrysalis
A Concertina Book made from multiple prints of a wood engraving of a High Brown Fritillary butterfly fitted into a re-used herb tin.

A Spanish Fountain
Linocut for a collaborative book "Five Ladies Travelling"

Working Song for a Shetland Sheep Shearer
I hand-shear my own Shetland Sheep, and used, until I made this book which uses images and words of instruction, to get stuck on the first shoulder, wondering what to do next....

Waiting for the Diners
A favourite restaurant on an Italian holiday

Tidelines in Connemara
I sat in a cafe in the rain in Clifden and drew as I drank my coffee. The image became a print in "Five Ladies Travelling": a collaborative book. Michael Longley let me use his poem "Primary Colours" to accompany the image.

On Holiday
Woodcut of husband asleep in a holiday house in Connemara. A perfect painter's house - huge windows, stunning scenery.

A fantastic year for rowan berries
Woodcut: Our wet summer has produced an amazing crop of all berries: some have gone to make apple and rowanberry jelly, excellent with Shetland lamb...

Cook the View - a collaborative book
This is a cookery book made to link landscape, the food creating the landscape, its chefs, and the artists using the landscape as inspiration

Surfers
Wood Engraving

Three in One
The three dimensional version of a book made to commemorate a journey in a Galway Hooker, the Ave Maria, to St Macdara's Island off the coast of Galway. I am emphatically not a sailor so it was fairly character building...but inspirational
