The Cuillin of Skye
Paul Kershaw is one of the most innovative and original wood engravers of his generation. For twenty years he lived on the Isle of Skye, walking and climbing throughout the seasons in the Cuillin, one of the most dramatic mountain ranges in the British Isles. His images of the mountains and the sea around them, many using the multi-block technique he has pioneered, are a testament to his love and understanding of that challenging landscape.
Paul has worked closely with Helen Hillman, the printer of the blocks, since work began on the production of this book back in the Spring of 2024 and it promises to be one of the most spectacular projects to come from the Press in recent times. We aim to be ready to publish during the early months of 2026.
There's not much room up there to celebrate. I shared it once with a white butterfly; such a scant fragment of life to be Hitting around, but then it was more at home drifting about in the ocean of air than I was, marooned on a few jagged rocks.
