THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

Janet Davis

Owner and printmaker

The official studio website identifies Janet Davis as its owner and describes her relief printmaking work.

The story & the craft.

Norton’s Cove Studio occupies the former Kean’s General Store in Brookfield, Bonavista Bay. Janet Davis’s relief-printing process moves from drawing and carving linoleum to pressing ink onto paper. The studio’s paper-goods collection gives that work several useful formats, including cards and smaller prints, while framed work offers a separate choice for someone planning a display.

Begin with the format rather than assuming that one image comes in every size or presentation. Ask about dimensions and framing if the piece needs to fit a particular space. The studio also lists sailor’s knots made there, giving readers a different material craft to ask about through the same business contact route. Exact knot size and intended use remain questions for the maker. Older product details establish the craft practice, rather than a promise that a specific print or knot is ready now.
