Hannah Scully is an artist and arts educator based in the North East of England. Her practice explores printmaking and sculpture, which commonly follows themes of an experimental and archival nature. She is passionate about working with low impact and recycled materials and frequently makes use of found or discarded objects. Growing up on a rural farm in the Yorkshire Dales has influenced much of her work. She is a compulsive collector, and records unusual finds and curious objects through her printmaking and sculptural works.
Hannah completed a BA in Fine Art at Newcastle University in 2015, she was then based at 36 Lime Street studios in Ouseburn until 2019 before setting up a home studio in Durham. Hannah is a member of Northern Print, NSEAD and NEATEN (North East Art Teacher/Educator Network)
Hannah also works in Further Education and teaches across visual arts including A Level, Art Foundation and Gold Arts Award. She currently coordinates artist residencies and a community arts programme at Dead Dog Gallery, Durham Sixth Form Centre.
Hannah's recent practice has explored processes such as 3D printing and lasercutting, exploring how tech may be used to influence and intersect printmaking.
