It is always lovely to be able to celebrate the success of former students of Curwen.
Terry Bryan.
Terry, a printmaker and graphic artist, works from his print workshop in rural Essex. For over
four decades he worked in the uncompromising world of graphic design, achieving success
both nationally and internationally for himself and his clients. In 2013 he began a course at
The Curwen Print Study Centre in Cambridgeshire that provided him with the basic principles
of traditional fine art printmaking. A journey began, refining and developing his skills within
these disciplines.
His graphic and visual thoughts, together with his photographic imagery are sources of
continual interpretation to create contemporary prints through the mediums of : solarplate
etching, photo etching, monotypes and collagraphs ; reflecting his interests in landscapes,
seascapes, architecture and his specific fascination in military history, from which his series
‘The Warrior Class through the ages’ is evolving. Another on-going area of development is a
desire to combine his calligraphic skills into one or more of these printmaking disciplines.
In 2016 and 2017 Terry was short-listed for the National Open Art Exhibition.He was also
selected for the Small Print International Exhibition by The Leicester Print workshop, for
their UK tour in 2017.2018 saw him selected to exhibit at the Cambridge Original Printmakers
Biennial where he won the Best Print in Show Award by the Cambridge Contemporary Art
Gallery. Culminating in exhibiting at the CCA Landscape Exhibition in March 2019.
Terry is an active member of Gainsborough’s House Printworkshop, which provides him
with an additional working environment. Terry has recently been accepted as a member/maker of the
Suffolk Craft Society.
