Aldeburgh Town – print

This colourful print by Andrew Ruffhead shows us ‘Aldeburgh Town’ which is world-renowned thanks to its connection with Benjamin Britten, the founder of the Aldeburgh Festival, which takes place in June every year.

Situated on the North Sea coast in Suffolk, pretty pastel coloured 19th Century holiday villas line the promenade. On the pebble beach are fisherman’s huts where locals sell their daily catch.

The print is taken from an original pen, ink and acrylic painting that highlights some of the areas attractions.

Andrew lives in the pretty village of Burnham Market, a pebble’s throw from the stunning beaches of the North Norfolk coast.

Here he works in his studio gallery, producing pen and ink drawings, lino prints, cyanotype photography and artworks made from driftwood and reclaimed boats.

He studied Painting and Printmaking at Brighton Polytechnic, and then Printed Textile Design at the Central School of Art and Design. He was Head of printed Textiles at the University of East London for fifteen years as well as designing for many companies including Osborne and Little, The Designers Guild and Calvin Klein.

Andrew is passionate about where he lives near the coast with its big skies and vast sands. It’s real foodie heaven too, with Brancaster mussels, Thornham oysters, Cromer crabs and so much more in the fishy stakes readily available, it’s not surprising that there’s plenty of inspiration for his brightly coloured images.

His work is shown in many galleries around the country.
