Joan Hodgkiss Etchings Joan Hodgkiss is a Suffolk-based printmaker. Her etchings include coastal scenes, natural history and still-life images. All of Joan's current work can be viewed in the
'Gallery' section. The site contains information on
Joan's etching techniques and background information on the artist
herself. You can also order work directly from the artist. All of Joan's prints are original in that each one is a hand-coloured and hand-printed impression of an original design. Joan generally produces 150 such impressions, 'called an edition', from each of her designs. Each is unique and each is numbered. Thus the 13th print of an edition of 150 will be numbered 13/150 at the bottom left hand side of the image. Prints produced in this way should not be confused
with mass produced prints, which, although often signed
by the artist and sold as a limited edition are all
identical and should never be sold as 'original' prints.
Both these latest prints feature a traditional Thames barge. ‘Alde Barge’ depicts such a vessel on the river Alde, near Snape Maltings. This waterway snakes through gold and green reed beds and muddy tidal creeks. The estuary is a famous wildlife area. ‘Waders on the Alde’ shows two Black Tailed Godwits which occur there in large numbers at certain times of the year.
