Emma Molony is an artist designer living and working in East Devon.
I started printmaking while living in Venice, learning etching, mezzotint, and woodcut at Stamperia Albrizzi and Stamperia del Tintoretto. I now work at Double Elephant Print Workshop as Projects Officer, finding exciting new ways to create cross-artform printmaking collaborations.
As well as making prints and wallpaper, I deliver workshops using portable presses – at schools, prisons, hospitals, galleries, festivals and community groups. In 2008 I established a Print-on-Prescription scheme to give adults dealing with mental health problems the opportunity to explore printmaking on a weekly basis, using professional printmaking facilities.
I undertake commissions and residencies with a variety of heritage, education and contemporary art spaces – Preston Manor in Brighton, Historic Royal Palaces, Kensington Palace, The Alexandra Reinhardt Memorial Award at The Art Room in Oxford, National Trust properties, Axminster Heritage Centre, The Royal Shakespeare Company.
