Interview: Printmaker Jim Munnion
October 5, 2011
Jim Munnion is a full time Somerset based Painter/Printmaker. He works in a wide range of media, including screen prints, wood relief prints, and oil and acrylic paintings. His work is striking, bold and direct. He exhibits in Bristol on a regular basis in addition to shows throughout the UK.
We caught up with Jim to ask him a few festive related questions.
1: What method of print making do you apply and why?
Screen prints and woodcut prints. I do not sell any reproductions, preferring to encourage my customer to buy hand made originals. My print work is largely experimental as this compliments my paintings, by working with chisels and scissors rather than the brush.
2: What Christmas traditions do you observe?
Big family get togethers and malt whisky.
3: What do you love about the South-West’s creative scene?
It is very inclusive, friendly and welcoming
4: Would you describe yourself as a panicked, last minute Christmas shopper or a methodical, list making one?
Definitely a last minute shopper!
