Beth Munro
I grew up in Brighton on the East Coast attending Varndean High School for Girls and Varndean Sixth Form College. I studied Art and Ceramics at A level and went on to do a BA Hons in degree fine Art and Spanish. After several years at sea, I settled in Southampton and became a garden designer and landscaper. In 2003 my husband and I decided to move to SE Cornwall, principally to give our own children the opportunity to grow up by the coast, as I had done. We settled in the little coastal village of Downderry which looks East to the Rame Head Peninsula and West to Looe Island and beyond. At low tide Downderry becomes a rockpooling heaven, revealing a plethora of marine life, seaweeds, and seashells. In 2013 I re - acquainted myself with the world of Printmaking taking an evening class at Plymouth College of Art followed by etching workshops at Tamar Print Workshop with Mary Gillett. I completely fell in love with print and found that I really enjoyed the process of printing, the problem solving and the excitement of the reveal. I began making work that reflected my lifelong passion for the natural world, especially marine life. As a printmaker I use techniques that best describes the subject of the image, be it Etching, Drypoint, Linocut or Monoprint. I like to showcase individual species, drawing attention to their beauty, their personalities and in some cases their vulnerabilities. I often include some human element in my images to remind us of the symbiotic relationship we have with the natural world.

Artizan Collective at Delamore Arts 2026
Artizan Collective is proud to return to Delamore Arts for our third consecutive year in 2026. Since our partnership began in 2024, our presence within the historic grounds of Delamore has grown from a single showcase into a vibrant, multi-venue Stableyard Arts Quarter—a dedicated hub for contemporary British craft, fine art, and creative engagement. Based in the heart of the English Riviera, Artizan Collective is a social enterprise dedicated to championing the South West’s creative industries. Since 2014, we have worked from our home in Torbay—a UNESCO Global Geopark—to support hundreds of artists annually, managing cultural venues and providing essential platforms for both emerging and established talent. Our ongoing collaboration with Delamore Arts allows us to extend this mission, bringing the very best of regional and national creativity to one of the most prestigious events on the South West arts calendar. This year, Artizan Collective is delivering its most ambitious programme to date, transforming the Delamore Stable Courtyard into a destination for discovery: •Contemporary British Printmakers: Our flagship exhibition returns for its third year in the Carriage Room Gallery, celebrating the technical mastery and narrative power of original handmade prints. •The Kiln Room: Following its standout success, this dedicated space returns to showcase the "alchemy" of ceramics, from functional studio pottery to avant-garde sculptural clay. •The Old Workshop (New for 2026): Transitioning from a trial of "have-a-go" sessions into a permanent fixture, this dedicated space hosts a full month of curated exhibitions, workshops and demonstrations. •The Courtyard Shop (New for 2026): A brand-new retail experience for Delamore, showcasing "stockable" high-quality art products. From original textiles to handmade stationery, leather goods and more, it is the perfect place to find a unique, artisan-made treasure. •The Maker Takeovers: Located in "The Stalls," these rotating pop-up art spaces offer an intimate, ever-changing opportunity to meet the region’s finest artisans, watch live demonstrations, and buy direct from the creators. "Delamore Arts has become a cornerstone of our annual activity. In our third year, we are thrilled to be deepening our contribution, showcasing the incredible vibrancy of the UK’s creative community. Our commitment remains rooted in the belief that art should be engaging and accessible, and we are honoured to provide a bridge between the extraordinary artists we represent and the discerning visitors of Delamore." Through this curated showcase, we hope to not only add value to the visitor experience but also to shine a light on the incredible talent shaping the future of British art and craft. We invite you to explore, discover, and take home a piece of original creativity this May.
