      About the Tutor

      Charles Shearer is an artist printmaker. His subject is primarily landscape and in particular the un-scenic, the neglected estate, abandoned factory, mine or quarry. Romantic ruins & follies also attract. He studied at Gray’s School of Art Aberdeen in 1975 and at the Royal College of Art, London, specialising there in Illustration.

      Charles has taught printmaking at Colleges and workshops for many years. Teaching all ages at any stage in their development. In his own practice everything is informed through experience and drawing and it is in the studio that ideas are developed through various print processes. Charles lives in London but travels extensively to teach and seek subject matter.
