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 fellow artist craftsman Janet Tristram, Cameron runs Bonfield Block-Printers. Their workshop is the old Thorncombe village stores in Dorset, still with its handsome original frontage and timber-lined interior.
