Katie is ridiculously obsessed with construction cranes, an avid collector of Charles and Diana wedding memorabilia (including an engraved house brick) and she once stood on Julie Walters' foot by accident in the Scottish Highlands.
A catch up with Nick @Mandrawke
Nick likes collecting stuff… video games, movies, vinyl. It’s mostly just an excuse to catalog things into alphabetical order. He loves dipping Marmite on toast in a cup of tea and spending time with his partner and fellow print fair regular Elsa (2B or Not 2B).
A catch up with Aidan @Print Wagon
Not only is Aidan a great printmaker, can balance things on his head, knows exactly 3 magic tricks, and has a chainsaw license!
He’s not letting the lock-down stop him from making ; taking the wagon set up off-road and and in to his garden. You can tune in to his weekend sessions and watch your print made to order!
A catch up with Dave Bird
Dave Bird may well be the very first Dave to use Pinterest, but doesn’t like to make a fuss about it. A good weekend for Dave is with a tape measure in one hand, and a frying pan in the other; planning home renovations and flipping omelets or pancakes for the family.
Mental Heath Awareness Week: A chat with Design Recovery
A catch up with Rachel Cook and Jordan Yates on their speaker series Design Recovery, dealing with mental health as a creative and what positive things can we take from lockdown.
A catch up with Rosi Tooth
Rosi is a singer in an indie funk-jazz band, an avid oat flat white drinker
and loves Starbursts…(apart from the orange ones - just like me!)
A catch up with Greg Meade @Habitats
A chef by trade, Greg makes a pretty decent cocktail, which opens up some options beyond the print game! He’s become increasingly influenced by the Amsterdam School style of architecture and is happiest wandering around a new (preferably cold) city with his old Lubitel camera, hoping the film comes out okay!
A catch up with Laura Moseley @Made by Women
When she’s not curating and designing the Made by Women zine, weaving wall hangings for friends, prepping for her art history degree in September, and rockin’ out Dolly Parton!
A catch up with Melanie Wickham
Melanie is a printmaker living in Bristol, where she shares her home with two studio assistant guinea pigs.
When she’s not printing up a storm, she loves getting the iconic sleeper train from London to Scotland - with a quick visit to the V&A on the way home, dressed in walking boots and hiking gear!
A catch up with Becky & Hope @Hopefully Made
Hopefully Made is an eco-conscious studio, creating designs that are not only beautiful but also 100% plastic-free and fully recyclable. The idea for the brand was formed at university and blossomed in their small studio in Shropshire, tending to their many (many) house plants and illustrating children’s books when they have a spare 5 minutes.
A catch up with Tom Hardwick
Tom is an illustrator based in East Yorkshire. A graduate from Hull School of Art and Design, you can usually find him enjoying the Lake District and watching football.
