Engravings by June Crisfield Chapman

In addition to the permanent displays, an extensive selection of wood engravings by the artist June Crisfield Chapman is currently on show in the Exhibition.

June studied wood engraving at the Glasgow School of Art, during which time she became fascinated by theatre. Her wood engravings are taken from literary themes or theatre characterisations, including characters from Shakespeare, Chaucer, Commedia dell-arte and Ancient Greek plays. She has exhibited her wood engravings in one-woman shows, including the Glasgow City Gallery at Kelvingrove, the Walter Rothschild Museum (part of Natural History Museum, London), and the Royal Botanic Garden Gallery, Edinburgh. Her work is also in public collections such as the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.

Alongside the engravings, there is an opportunity to see the tools and boxwood blocks which June uses to achieve her dramatic images.

All the prints on display are available to purchase. For more information:
