Cambridge Open Studios (July 2018) ~ The Open Studio of Anna Pye (and Pepper)
At print-maker Anna Pye's @CamOpenStudios*, a friendly welcome from Pepper, The Artist's Feline Assistant - plus Anna's lovely home-made fruit-punch !— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) July 14, 2018

Pepper can readily vouch that Anna's work is ever near to Nature [so a younger visitor, making her entry in the guest-book, picked an owl to sketch - one of Anna's favourite themes - and Pepper] :— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) July 14, 2018
As exemplified by, in black, this 1 / 35 lino-cut print - Hare at Burrough (£140). pic.twitter.com/PeVKCmmNdn
There are plenty of lino-cuts and mono-prints available to buy, or just to admire - on display, in a portfolio, or in several free-standing browsing-racks :
Upper : Breakfast (mono-print, 1 / 1) ; Lower : Portfolio, open to a puffin with sand-eels
As in previous years, Anna kindly allowed #UCFF to take photos in order to Tweet, etc., about her Open Studio, but cards and numerous items with her designs, from tea-towels to cushions and tote-bags, are on sale :
As Anna says, when purchased, prints can come in a variety of forms - to suit the buyer...
All in all, plenty to inspire in Anna Pye's Open Studio 2018 - including that owl, and Pepper the Cat :
