Laura Boswell

I am a member of the Royal Society of Printmakers and was elected Printmaker of the Year 2025 at the Printmakers of Scotland’s Festival of Printing by public vote.

My work is held in public collections in the UK, USA and Japan, including the House of Lords Print Collection for the Nation. I studied Visual Art and Art History at Aberystwyth University, and trained in woodblock printmaking with both the Nagasawa Art Programme and MI Lab in Japan. My books on Japanese woodblock and linocut techniques are published by The Crowood Press.

I am a Director of Upland, the creative hub for artists and makers in Dumfries & Galloway, and my studio is certified by UNESCO as a sustainable business within the Dumfries & Galloway UNESCO Biosphere.
