A SERIES of hand-made prints inspired by the landscape, settlements and life of Dartmoor will be on exhibition at Dartmoor National Park Authority's High Moorland Visitor Centre in Princetown until July 6.

Most of the exhibitors live on or near the moor. Joanna Radford uses her experience as a smallholder, moorland landowner and horsewoman to inform her art. She makes artists' books and two of these, one celebrating the high brown fritillary, will be on display.

Joanna said: 'There is a huge variety of printmaking techniques on display, together with a description of how these are achieved and some of the blocks or plates used.

'Unlike painting, printmaking is a sort of magic, you never quite know what you are going to get when you peel back the paper from your carved or etched printing plate.'

Other exhibitors with work on display use more conventional techniques such as wood cuts, wood engraving and etching.

The High Moorland Visitor Centre has recently been remodelled to incorporate a new 'pay to enter' zone.

This area includes updated exhibitions and displays, including films and children's activities, a regularly changing programme of exhibitions in the Dartmoor Gallery, archive images, virtual tours of Dartmoor locations, moorland myths and legends and the story of Dartmoor from prehistory to the present.
