Wood Engraving Wednesday

ANDY ENGLISH

This 5.5" x 3.25" print by English wood engraver Andy English (b. 1956), entitled Nightingale Walk, is one of 60 selected for the Fifth Triennial Exhibition, 2024-2026 of the Wood Engravers’ Network (WEN), the national organization for American wood engravers, juried by our head of Special Collections Max Yela. WEN accepts members from other countries, and English is also a member of WEN's long-standing British counterpart the Society of Wood Engravers.

A self-trained wood engraver, English began his practice in 1991. He is drawn to subjects of the familiar: family, gardens, local wildlife, landscapes, etc. On his website he writes:

When I was starting to make wood engravings, there was some resistance to continuing to make images of traditional, rural subjects. Somehow they were not always thought of as being progressive enough. For me, I was born in a small village in East Anglia and I engraved the landscapes and wildlife, and these remain an important focus for my printmaking.

(European) Robin London.. by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Voted Britain's favourite bird, robins are one of most recognisable and frequently seen garden visitors. They make their homes in gardens, hedges and woodland, constructing well-built, cup shaped nests using dead leaves, grass and moss and lining them with hair. Robins are opportunistic nesters, choosing a spot low down in ivy, brambles and hedging
