Whilst in Brighton Hilary studied printmaking extensively over many years, learning the techniques of lithography, silk screen and etching. This led to a Certificate in Printmaking with distinction (1994 University of Brighton). Hilary has been a Member of the Cornwall Crafts Association since 1995.
