About
'Ways with Wood', is a major exhibition at Somerset Rural Life Museum celebrating the life and work of renowned Glastonbury-based artist Harry Brockway (1958–2024).
Featuring an exceptional selection of his wood engravings, woodcuts and wooden sculpture, the exhibition offers a rich insight into the creativity, skill and craftsmanship that defined his distinguished artistic career.
Harry Brockway was an exceptionally accomplished printmaker, sculptor, illustrator and stone carver. Alongside creating independent prints, he produced wood-engraved illustrations for a wide range of publishers – from major houses such as Penguin to specialist presses like The Folio Society.
His work appears in celebrated editions of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and in texts by W. B. Yeats, Philip Pullman, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Mark Twain among others.
