Welcome to printmaking!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Something I've always been passionate about! 
My printmaking journey began as an illustration student at UoG in 2008, when I spent many hours in the print room, experimenting with all types of printing.                                                                                Since 2013, I facilitated many printmaking workshops, including at the University of Gloucestershire and Worcester.                                                                                                                  In 2024, I worked with the Polish community in Cheltenham and Gloucester.                                                                                                      Through various printmaking workshops, we produced a patchwork of experiences and stories of migrations.  Our work was exhibited at the Gloucester Cathedral in September 2024.     
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
In July 2024, I traveled to JAPAN, to learn the beautiful MOKUHANGA technique.
I can’t stop thinking about my magical time there, learning traditional Mokuhanga skills. My mind still drifts away through the green woodlands, parks, and gardens I visited, listening to cicadas and nature, drawing, sketching in blistering heat, hiding in shadows, and enjoying the silence far away from home. But it felt like home for six weeks, which I thoroughly enjoyed and explored.                                                                                                                                                                                         I came back with new energy and ideas and want to focus on printing and sharing with you through a series of small and affordable workshops.
MOKUHANGA is a traditional Japanese water-based woodblock printing technique. It is much more eco-friendly than its Western tradition, doesn't require heavy machinery for printing, and can produce very delicate, watercolor-like imagery.                                          You can see some examples.
