Kate studied at the Royal College of Art graduating with an MA in Textile Design in 1997. She then worked as a textile designer across a wide range of fashion brands including Fenchurch, Miss Selfridge and the Japanese fashion designer Michiko Koshino. Kate has lectured in Japan and was a visiting tutor at Central St Martins College of Art and Design and Buckinghamshire New University.

In 2011 Kate set up her own printmaking studio after receiving a Certificate of Printmaking with distinction from the prestigious Curwen Print Study Centre.

Her approach to design and printmaking stems from a love of florals, geometric patterns and bold colours, often found in textiles. Much of her inspiration comes from the natural landscapes of East Anglia. She works in a variety of techniques including linocut, screenprint, chine collé, collagraph and collage on paper.

Alison graduated in graphic design in 1990 from Northumbria University and now works as a professional illustrator. She lives in a village just outside Cambridge.

Her printmaking work continues to be inspired by subjects she sees on her daily walks with her dogs; from skeletal winter trees, to close-up studies of seed heads, birds and the fen landscape.

Alison uses various techniques in her work including pen and ink, oils, watercolours, and also combining hand-drawn images with digital technology. Her printmaking methods include collography, linocut and drypoint.

We currently do not have any prints by Alison.

Kathy was born in Wallasey, Wirral and graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee, Scotland with a degree in printed textiles, supported by printmaking.

After graduating, she won an award with Habitat at the New Designers exhibition in Islington which led to a career in design, product development and buying. 10 years ago, Kathy moved to Wiltshire with her husband and took a break to start her young family. A few years ago, she began to print again and has since been developing her distinctive style of still life compositions with simple, free hand line work in the form of mono print, worked with blocks of hand pulled screen printed colour.

Kathy is now a part time printmaker, dividing her time between her three young children and her home studio in Yatton Keynell, near Bath. Kathy’s designs are all hand drawn by herself from life and often feature the simple shapes, forms and patterns of ceramics, pebbles and plants.

Hand cut or torn, screen printed stencils create strong and bold silhouettes which take on their own character when mixed with the spontaneous but beautiful nature of mono printing.

Victoria is a Visual Artist who studied glass design at Staffordshire University, England in the mid 1990's. Her studio is on the Bedfordshire/ Buckinghamshire border in the U.K. and her art practice focuses on Abstract Mixed Media Painting and Printmaking. She finds these two disciplines complement and inform each other and allow for a wider exploration of subject matter.

You could say Victoria has a slight obsession with looking at the world in an obscure way. She focuses on new ways of seeing the world around her, by flattening out our 3D world.

“Whenever possible I’ll grab the window seat in an aeroplane so I can snap away at the birds-eye views passing me by.”

This privileged view point in the sky gives her intriguing aerial views that flatten out man-made features, in turn highlighting what nature has to offer.

By using a sketchbook and a camera she enjoys isolating shape, space, colour, pattern, enticing texture and exploring scale and composition. This process of observation will often translate into a multilayered artwork.

We currently do not have any available prints.

Jennifer is a New Zealand artist, printmaker and teacher.

Art and creativity has been part of her life since she was a little girl. She spent nearly all her childhood drawing and painting and was encouraged by two Aunties who taught art. In 1994 Jennifer discovered a passion for Printmaking at Canterbury University School of Fine Arts in Christchurch, New Zealand. She loved the process orientated nature of the subject, primarily zinc plate etching and relief printing. After completing a 4 year Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in Printmaking/Painting, she went on to study History of Art as a minor subject. In 2001 Jennifer came to the UK for what was only supposed to be 6 weeks! She has taught Art in Cambridge, London & Spain.

Jennifer has always loved Japanese woodblock prints and early railway poster art. The creative process requires intricate cutting and layering of colour which takes place over many weeks. Each reduction linocut is produced by hand; from the initial drawings, to the intricate cutting, inking and printing of editions. Jennifer works in relief and intaglio methods, however her preferred printmaking technique is ‘Reduction linoprinting’ otherwise known as the suicide method! In this method, a multi coloured print is pulled from a single block. The lino is inked with the lightest colour and the first printing is made. The areas to remain that colour are then cut away. This is the process for each layer, therefore it cannot be rewound or repeated. The print evolves and changes shape during the process allowing her to constantly respond to what the work needs rather than being restricted by preconceived ideas.

Andy develops his ideas through drawing and sketching; he simplifies imagery to give clarity to his intentions, experimenting with colour, scale, pattern and texture.

Andy is inspired by ordinary things and everyday objects. He observes and digests information from the world around him to help create images often considering things that seem to have supplanted by the pace of modern life. Reconsidered previous works develop through hand rendering giving ‘happy accidents’.

Screenprinting is the main technique employed. The exacting nature of the discipline enhances the layering of the composition and the colour.

The inherent nature of Andy's work is born out of looking and enjoying the work of others. Artists such as Patrick Caulfield and Andy Warhol are obvious influences, so to the recent work of Michael Craig Martin.

Andy hopes to share his passion for printmaking within his work.

Sherry’s artwork focuses on texture and its resonance with the subject. She often uses printmaking techniques such as collagraph, monoprint, and drypoint to create images incorporating the tactile and detailed aspects of her subject, such as plants, animals and scenery. The artwork itself is sometimes embossed or has a texture to its surface.

Sherry enjoys sketching and making art of the plants and wildlife in her garden and in the surrounding Cambridgeshire countryside. Her art may also include influences from her travels and work farther afield. She often draws on her work in biological sciences and reflects her keen interest in biodiversity.

Sherry’s work is included in The Illustrated Garden and Limited Edition, both books are published Mascot Media. She exhibits regularly with the Cambridge Drawing Society and participates in Cambridge Open Studios, opening her studio in Elsworth where she also runs occasional printmaking workshops having studied printmaking at the Curwen Print Studio.

We currently do not have any prints by Sherry.

Printmaking gives Nina a buzz as it gives her the opportunity to combine her creative streak with a love of practical experimentation fostered during her career as a scientist and teacher. Nina loves that moment when you take the first pull off a new plate!

Nina's inspiration comes from a lifelong love of the natural world and her experiences working as an Ecologist, in the water industry in particular. It is no surprise that water and the life within it is a recurring theme in her work and many of her prints feature the wild life habitats and species she worked with in the field.

Nina is interested in creating prints rooted in landscapes that are meaningful to her, constantly excited by patterns and textures in nature. She likes painterly prints and sometimes her work can lean towards the abstract. Reduction linocutting is one of her favourite methods as she likes the element of danger!

Nina loves the experimental nature of monoprinting and the freedom it gives her and the amazing textures you can print from humble materials when printing with collagraphs. In her recent work, Nina has embraced the challenge of working with wood with a series of woodcut seascapes and wood engravings of local landscapes.

In 2006, Liz was chosen to take part in a printmaking residency in the Scottish Highlands at The Highland Print Studio. She lived in Cromarty, North of Inverness; it was like living in the middle of a nature reserve. It was a fabulous opportunity in which Liz immersed herself in printmaking for 3 months .

Liz has continued printmaking ever since, in 2009 crossing over from being a full time painter to printmaker. With printmaking, she is constantly learning new techniques which keeps the whole process very exciting. At first, Liz was mainly concentrating on making lino-cuts and she taught herself the technique of chine colle whilst making the odd screenprint.

Now it is the complete opposite and she has become addicted to the process of screeprinting as each print she makes, she learns something new, its such an exciting and sometimes very challenging process …. but that is why Liz loves it.
