Cameron Short

Cameron’s work is rooted in his love of both the countryside and sea, rural life - its rhythms and traditional skills - and the folklore of trees, plants and animals. It is often created in repeat, and has a strong narrative element. The tools which give his imagery life are carving gouges and scoops, and a wonderful hand-cranked press from 1904.

Together with his wife Janet he set up Bonfield Block Printers and they produce block-printed furniture, artisan garments, hand-printed linens, cushions, lampshades & light shades, limited edition prints on paper and more. Each intricate pattern is hand-carved onto traditional wood-printing blocks and printed onto both paper and textiles.
