Hand-printed on a Victorian Albion Press | A2 block on 79cm x 53cm Japanese Masa Paper | Edition of 15 | Selling fast
A celebration of seaside sunsets, hand-carved detail, and clifftop grandeur.
Bathed in the warm tones of a coastal dusk, Folkestone West Montage captures the spirit of golden-hour walks along the clifftops. Featuring The Leas, The Grand Hotel, the Zig Zag Path, and the historic Bandstand, this linocut is a love letter to the western stretch of Folkestone’s coastline.
Every detail—down to the last balustrade and windowpane—has been carved and printed entirely by hand over four months in my open studio on Folkestone’s Old High Street. The double-layered print combines bold architectural forms with the soft, blended glow of a sunset ombré, rain-rolled in peach, yellow and pale light.
Full Description
Step into a seaside montage, warm with the sunset fade of summer sun and elegance of Edwardian charm with my Folkestone West Sunset Linoprint—a richly detailed linocut celebrating some of Folkestone’s most iconic scenes. From the curved grace of The Leas promenade to the striking silhouette of The Grand Hotel, each element has been lovingly carved by hand, then printed in layers of oil-based ink using a Victorian Albion press.
The first layer blends a warm, sunset-inspired gradient; the second captures the graphic detail in powder blue. Together, they evoke both the atmosphere and architecture of this much-loved coastal town.
This piece draws inspiration from traditional British printmaking, nodding to classic railway posters while celebrating the slowness and tactility of hand-carved work. Designed and printed in a live studio setting, it’s a deeply personal print—for lovers of place, craft, and coastal light.
