TEDDI COUTTS Leeds-based artist and printmaker Teddi had always expected that retirement would be the time when she could concentrate on, and develop her artwork, but retirement was always something that would happen in the future and she hadn’t thought through how it might work out in practice or made any plans other than laying in stocks of materials whenever funds permitted. She had experimented with various media after leaving college, but only as an occasional hobby – trying sketching, watercolour painting, photography, pastels and acrylic. Teddi visited exhibitions, studied artists and their work and built up a collection of art books to teach myself as much as she could. She is lucky to live in a city with a large art gallery which has a dedicated art library. The Tetley, the Henry Moore centre, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and The Hepworth are quite close. An Arts Hostel is due to open soon. Teddi uses a range of printing techniques, including monoprint, drypoint, relief printing and collagraph and also experiment with digital photography, collage and painting. Although printmaking is Teddi's first love, She now works mostly in mixed media which offers endless opportunities to experiment with combinations of all the disciplines she has learnt. Her use of mixed media increased during lockdown as she worked with whatever materials she had available. www.instagram.com/Teddico4 Scott Creative Arts Foundation
