Niki Willows, Printmaker

Hello, I am a printmaker in Cornwall. I make linocut prints and teach workshops both in Cornwall and my 'growing up' county of North Norfolk. I sell at local markets, Porthtowan Beach Shop and framed in Blue Bar Porthtowan.

If you're interested in any prints please drop me a message.

I'm also at several markets if you fancy a browse and a natter; Falmouth Discovery Market outside the Maritime Museum on many Thursdays and Saturdays, Porthtowan Eco Park Roots Markets and Porthtowan Village Hall Summer celebration and Christmas Bazaar - Niki

Kiwi swan with an engagement ring which I made as a one off for my son and his fiance. There's a story of the swan appearing during the proposal, hence the print.
I painted the red with watercolour.
