ANNETTE SYKES
Statement
I received my first real watercolour box at age 10 and drew
and painted up to 'A' level. I went to Coventry College specialising
in painting and sculpture but left and then worked as a screen print
designer before having a family. I returned to college for 4 years,
studying Textile Design and Embroidery where I was re-introduced
to Printmaking. Two years design masterclasses in London and
print study at West Dea, Knuston Hall and local studios followed
I am a member of the Fellowship of Professional and Amateur Artist,
I hold their diploma; and of the Northamptonshire Guild of Designer
Craftsmen.
