Artweeks: Spencer-Churchill Designs showing my work
17th-28th May 2025
Over a thousand artists will exhibit across Oxfordshire and ​Woodstock is transforming into an open gallery, with our art in the town centre windows. Lady Henrietta is very kindly displaying my artwork in the window of her Interior Decor shop Spencer-Churchill Designs. It's directly opposite the Iona Gallery and next to the lovely Brothertons Brasserie.
You can also soak up the arty atmosphere in the church. There is a handy map showing you The Woodstock Art Walk. Then fall into one of the many fabulous cafes and pubs here in Woodstock.
​
*With special thanks to Blenheim Palace who have supported Artists in Woodstock again this year.

'The Morning Walk' Gin Bottles
at Blenheim Palace Food Festival, Late May Bank Holiday 2025
Saturday 24th to Monday 26th May. 10am till 5pm.
The Modern Art Distillery approached me to use my lino-print of Blenheim Palace for their new Gin bottles.
We’ll be launching the new bottles at the Blenheim Palace Food Festival, but they can also be found at various bars across the region and on the M.A.D. website, www.modernartdistillery.com.
​
So come to the Food Festival and have a taste! I can assure you - not only is it delicious gin, but it’s a beautiful mini work of art which will enhance any bar with its striking image of the jewel in the crown of Britain’s palaces - Blenheim. It's also the perfect gift, of course.
Bonus - It’s free entry to the Food Festival with an annual pass :-)

Clarkson's Farm: Launching my Pop-Up Diddly Squat Shop

What a wonderful place it is up on the hill, above Chadlington. The atmosphere is fabulous - it’s the perfect day-trip.
You can visit the Diddly Squat Farmshop, which is crammed full of fresh local produce and souveniers. Then pop round the back to the Lambing Barn and have a delicious burger and/or a pint (they also do a knock-out Gelato) and browse through my Chadlington Collection. ​​​

'The Commute' - From my new Chadlington Collection.
New Edition:
'Hope and Joy'
7th February 2025
From my new 'Chadlington' collection.
Driving along many a Cotswold lane you'll see these majestic Magpies swooping alongside you. In this new edition I aimed to capture the sun streaming through the trees on to the dark lane. The two Magpies depict Joy and the light at the end of the tunnel shows Hope. Perhaps just a little reminder that there's always light at the end of a tunnel and there's joy if you look for it. www.carolinegibsonprints.com
​​
​One for sorrow, Two for joy, Three for a girl, Four for a boy, Five for Silver, Six for Gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told.

The Missing Bean Cafe opening
...displaying my prints and cards
22nd November 2024
The Missing Bean bakery-cafe opened this morning, and I’ll be there. Not only do they make really scrummy sarnies, but their walls will be adorned with my local lino prints.
Stocked full of freshly-baked pastries and yummy baguettes, with that intrinsically relaxing aroma of freshly-roasted coffee. I may just make it the new Caroline Gibson Prints HQ.

Night of a Thousand (ish) Candles and Woodstock Festive Fayre
Friday 29th-30th November 2024
With Christmas a mere seven weeks away, where better to usher in the Christmas spirit than an idyllic Cotswold country town Christmas Fair. It’s straight out of the movie ‘The Holiday’. There’ll be gifts galore from a vast array of talented artisans in St Mary’s Church and I’ll be there with my lovely prints and woodStocking Fillers.
So come into the church, stock up on prezzies, and if only by way of a hand-warmer, you can sup a hot chocolate with marshmallows or a spicy Mulled Wine, and fill-up on a hog roast. Then out to the town square to countdown the Christmas tree illumination.
If you happen to miss it…worry not…my full collection is always available at Gleide Home Decor, by the crossing.

Move over, Vogue...it's the Woodstock and Bladon News
1st November 2024
I'm SO excited to have made the front cover of the Woodstock and Bladon News (it's actually a better read than Vogue and Tatler).
November's all about Bonfire night for me. This print shows The Star Inn in Woodstock with its banging-crackling fireworks lighting up the town square and many a cold dark evening.
The pub is a firm favourite with us locals and is the jewel of the town square. It's your archetypal British pub, with cosy roaring fires, Sunday roasts and plenty of hustle and bustle. Throughout the year, the fireworks over The Star are a sight to behold.
Each print is cut, rolled and coloured by hand, using the relief printmaking method of linocut printing. So if you'd like different coloured fireworks to match your home colour scheme, please just ask. I also offer all my prints as greeting cards.
​
*With special thanks to Jamie, the loveliest landlord in Woodstock...free pint? and of course, Nick and Rod at Woodstock and Bladon News.
'Fireworks over The Star' is available from my Shop page and at Gleide Home Decor shop, by the traffic lights in Woodstock
Launching my new range of Mugs
4th October 2024
In preparation for this year's Woodstock Festive Fair in November, I've been busy in the studio creating my 'woodStocking Fillers'.
The first set in this new range are my 'Wonderful Woodstock' mugs. All totally battle-proof -- after your perfect brew these can be chucked in the dishwasher. They also come in a cute little gift box, so they're the perfect gift or stocking filler!

All my designs will follow shortly...so watch this space!

Four-Star Feathers Hotel features my prints
26th July 2024
In other news...the fantastically elegant Feathers Hotel in Woodstock has requested two of my prints for its Reception. They will be for sale alongside other local artists' work on a super-stylish gallery wall.
In the heart of historic Woodstock, the luxurious, newly refurbished boutique hotel is a real treat for the senses. It also has the best courtyard in town, which I happen to know is the only one that captures that precious last bit of evening sun. ​So pop in for a coffee, beer...mojito, a mouth-wateringly tasty meal or a cosy stay. Sit back and relax, and enjoy my scenes of Woodstock in style.​​​
As featured in Cotswold Life Magazine, 'Off down The Prince' will be a permanent feature, along with its brother 'The Boys are back in town' (showing Blenheim's geese migration).
