Artist | Printmaker

Lancashire, England, UK

Handmade in Lancashire

Welcome to my website! My name is Olivia and I am an artist and printmaker living in a small rural village in North Lancashire bordering the Lake District. I am, of course, inspired by my beautiful surroundings but also by my family’s history in the Yorkshire textile industry. As a result, I love working with architectural themes and with imagery from the natural world and am passionate about making all my work by hand in my studio using British materials.

New Work

Featuring the newest paintings, prints and textiles from The Badger Sett Studio. All available in the Shop.

The Caravan | Post No. 2 | - Removing Old Wood
The Caravan | Post No. 2 | - Removing Old Wood

Before we start on painting, removal of old wood was necessary to get an idea of what structural renovations we needed to make to the framework and chassis. This revealed some rather lovely details that had been hidden, perhaps since the caravan was built. This has given us extra information to work with as we renovate the caravan as true to its original state as possible. Photos are included of the process of removing old wood and also saving some parts to be stripped and refitted.
