Pete Winstanley original art

Biography

 

Pete Winstanley was born in Surrey in 1950, and moved to Durham in 1977 to share a studio with Richard Sharland, watercolour artist, and Roger Lee, maker of early keyboard instruments. He later worked at Castle Chare Arts Centre in Durham City, and now works from home. His batiks have been widely exhibited throughout the North East, and much of his work is inspired by the landscape of Northern England.
 
The technique of batik involves applying molten wax to cloth, which is then dyed with cold dye. The waxed areas are waterproof and resist the dye, and the process may be repeated to build up a more complex picture. Batik is not a printing process – each piece is a unique work of art.
