Artists at work in the Skopelos studio

Sweden’s Mikael Kihlman and London-based Australian artist Christopher Croft set up alongside Garry Shead at tables in the printmaking room, overlooking the Aegean. Here Mikael (in the foreground) is working in diffused light on a number of small drypoints on copper plate. Chris made a series of beautiful etchings on zinc (to become an artist’s book), while Garry completed a three plate colour etching and two black and white works inspired by his current painting themes, Greek mythology and a small winery operated by Iannis next door to the studio.
