Rob Barnes studied painting and printmaking at Hull College of Art and London University in the early 1960s.
Having taught etching, screen-printing, lino and related surface printmaking at Keswick Hall College in Norfolk, he later moved to the University of East Anglia, Norwich where he continued teaching in the School of Education until 2006.
Presently he divides his time between printmaking and playing the violin in local orchestras.
Rob’s linocuts are hand-printed on an Albion press built by Harry Rochat printers’ engineers in the London Borough of Barnet.
