Printmaking From The Edge of Scotland
Fine art prints inspired by Scotland's wild west coast and Northumberland's ancient landscapes — made in my garden studio on the Isle of Bute.
Something happens when colour and landscape collide unexpectedly. The blues aren't quite the blues you'd expect. The light does something it shouldn't. That's what I'm chasing in the studio every day — and what collectors tell me stops them in their tracks.
Each print begins in the landscape itself — in the shifting light over the Firth of Clyde, the ancient hills of Northumberland, the wild plants most people walk straight past. Back in the studio, that experience is transformed through collagraph and monotype into original hand-pulled prints, rich with colour, texture and atmosphere. No two are identical. Each one is as individual as a painting — without the painting price tag.
Browse the collections — or come and find your piece of the wild in person.

“Carol Nunan’s prints have been exhibited at the Biscuit Factory since our opening back in 2003. From the outset Carol’s prints consistently appeal to our customers and produce regular sales. Her current exhibition which as always includes entirely new work, is no exception. Carol and her business partner Chris are a dependable team, always good to deal with”
Printmaking Workshops on the Isle of Bute
My garden studio in Rothesay looks out across the bay — ferries, yachts, tall ships and naval vessels passing all day long while you work. It's an unusual place to make prints. That's rather the point.
I teach five printmaking techniques — monoprint, collagraph, linocut, gelli printing, and drypoint — to small groups of up to four. Complete beginners are very welcome. So are experienced printmakers ready to go further.
If you're looking for something more immersive, tailored retreats combine focused studio time with the inspiration of the island itself — think of it as a short artist's residency with a knowledgeable local to guide you.
“Carol was able to very quickly tailor the sessions to my needs and ability — I now have a load of different techniques to work with, and the confidence and motivation to keep experimenting. Great workshop, lovely surroundings, lots of inspiration.”

“I bought a print of Carol’s at Cambridge Contemporary Art Gallery … it was beautiful! I have just bought a second companion piece.
Both Carol and Chris were fantastic, responding very quickly and ensuring it arrived in time for a special event planned. Would highly recommend both the prints themselves and the very good customer service.”

“I ordered two open editions prints from Carol’s website. They arrived promptly and were as beautiful as on the screen. Belatedly, I contacted Carol to have them framed. I was particulalry impressed when a few days later they were delivered by hand to my address, in beautiful oak frames.
I would wholeheartedly recommend the quality of Carol’s work, and the impressive service I got.”
