He has exhibited work in the UK for a number of years and recently, since 2021, in Chicago. He holds a BA in Fine Art from Sheffield Hallam University and recently completed a Master of Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University.Kim Bevan is experienced book artist. She provides workshops for all ages in her own studio and here at Carousel. Kim is passionate about teaching and making art, working with traditional techniques and materials. In her practice she works predominantly with paper to make paper sculptures and artist books. Her artist books play around with 3D sculptural folding techniques and utilise artwork using printmaking, paper cutting and illustration. She is fascinated by human nature, conversations and the everyday, she likes to make work that drawers the viewer in to find the small details in life within the pieces she creates. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/0e9b18c0-c3ad-11f1-a2c4-2fe1576e45dc-rimg-w986-h740-dce8e8d8-gmir.jpg About Carousel Print StudioCarousel Print Studio is a not for profit charity based on the ground floor of Yorkshire Art Space, Exchange Place Studios in Castlegate.Carousel provides educational workshops in printmaking and access to printmaking equipment and facilities for creatives in Sheffield, in a bright, warm, accessible and well equipped printmaking studio.
