The Coast to Coast is now a National Trail. Have you walked it? I’ve walked many of its sections, which have inspired some of my prints. I’d love to walk the 190 mile route in one go. These are St Bees, Swaledale & Robin Hood’s Bay linocut prints. #CoasttoCoastPath #NationalTrail

trib.al/5LnGIQY Michelle Hughes: 'I do linocut art but don't think I'm an artist - I'm more of a crafter'

'I do linocut art but don't think I'm an artist - I'm more of a crafter'

Michelle Hughes does not like to call herself an artist but there can be no doubt she is making a name for herself in the world of printmaking. She spoke to Julian Cole about her passion for linocut.
