Tessa Asquith-Lamb
"Etching is my delight and suits the way I work. An etched line is a thing of precision and beauty, inky and velvety, emerging in the wiping of an etching plate to give structure to soft clouds of aquatint. I have always loved the feel of an etching needle on metal, and it's journey towards a printed line."
BIOGRAPHY
Tessa Asquith-Lamb graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with a MA (Hons) Fine Art degree in 1998, specialising in etching and painting. Since then she has continued to work on her art mostly through the medium of etchings produced at Edinburgh Printmakers.
These works have been exhibited widely with highlights including a solo show at Callendar House in 2018-19 'Drawn from the Past - The Museum Mind of Tessa Asquith-Lamb', being commissioned by the V&A Dundee to create a giant paper-cut pop-up book for the opening of the new museum, regular works shown art both the RSA and SSA annual shows and many private galleries across the UK. In 2020 three of her etchings were selected to join the National Collection of the City of Edinburgh. She also works as an art educator for the many national museums and galleries.
