Lisa Cradduck is an artist printmaker who works with laborious mark-making techniques. Within her prints, moral panic, class struggle, and occult agency are the rotten core. Her research interests include print culture, 15th century block-books, and witch pamphlets.
Cradduck is a founder member and director of 'Mutton Fist Press', an autonomous, co-operative printmaking studio and exhibition space in Archway, London that hosts art, music, and literary events. Mutton Fist runs a residency programme and promotes social printmaking through its weekly print evening “Spud Club”.
Work Lisa produced on residency at The Venice Printmaking Studio (Murano, Italy), was selected for inclusion in The Venice Biennale of Large Format Printmaking. She has also exhibited at The Horse Hospital (UK), The Communist Gallery (UK), Five Years (UK), and the Ghetto Biennale (Haiti). Lisa was born in Wembley, London in 1980, and is a Fine Art graduate from Sheffield Hallam University and Chelsea School of Art. She lives and works in North London where she runs a popular, specialist linocut course and is a tutor on the advance printmaking programme at City Literary Institute, London.
