After much tweaking I am at last fully set up at the @thegreenshopsheffield in Wadsley, Sheffield.
I have brought in a selection of my work, including lots of handprinted Christmas decorations. If you’d like to come and see my wares they are there ‘til Sunday afternoon. Thanks so much to Sam, Anne and the team for being kind enough to offer me a space in their wonderful shop this week. 😀

I have just added these sweet, nature inspired plain paper A5 notebooks to my Etsy Shop ( link in bio)

I also have my Abstract designs back in my Etsy shop after selling out online over the weekend! They are available to preorder with the aim to have them to you in good time for Christmas.
Lined notebooks are also available to preorder and they will be with me by the end of the week. 😀

Pssst....I do still have a few abstract notebooks in the @thegreenshopsheffield where I’ve begun setting up my stall for the week.

I’ve been linocut printing these wooden hearts today. It was so much fun! As always it’s the final linocut layer that creates the magic!
I’ll bring these to the @thegreenshopsheffield tomorrow along with a selection of other work.

A few weeks ago I asked for opinions about noteboo

A few weeks ago I asked for opinions about notebooks. I loved all the various answers I received regarding plain or lined paper, size of book and whether hard or soft back was preferable. Plain paper definitely won over lined and I am am really pleased to say that I now have these A5 plain paper notebooks available to buy. How bright and colourful they are! Definitely needed on this unbelievably grey day. I will be bringing some to the @thegreenshopsheffield this Monday, where I will have a selection of my art work available to buy for the week. I’ve also added them to my Etsy shop.
I’m now off to get printing some wooden hearts that I’ll hopefully show you later.
Hope you have a lovely Sunday despite this murky weather!

Next week I am setting up a little stall of hand printed goodies at the @thegreenshopsheffield. I’ll be sharing a few photos of some of the work I am bringing over the weekend, but of course there will be plenty of my printed wooden baubles which are highly colourful and have a rather retro feel.
If you can’t make it over to Wadsley, I also have some of these in @sheffieldmakershuntersbar and of course they are available online as a set of three with free delivery.

Hi there! Its #justacard week this week and I want

Hi there! Its #justacard week this week and I want to thank you so much for your continued support through this year. I won’t lie, it’s been very tough, but I’m so grateful to you for following me and commenting on my posts and for the purchases some of you make.
Typically I’m a day late joining in with this, but it’s such an important campaign highlighting the need for people to support their local, Independent businesses or lose them and I really wanted to participate. I have gained quite a few followers recently, who may not know that much about me too so it’s an excuse to share a bit of info.

🌈I’m Sam and I’m a full time printmaker. I work in my home studio as you can see in the photo, which is in a terraced house in Sheffield, U.K.
I became self employed 7 years ago ( I think...I’ve lost track) after teaching secondary art and textiles teacher for a number of years.

🌈I LOVE printmaking! I create mostly wood and linocut prints, but I like all sorts of simple printmaking that doesn’t require too much equipment. I work onto paper, wood and fabric and I like to experiment with colours, shapes and textures and work in an intuitive way to create mostly ‘one off’ prints. My style of work is bold colourful and I think quite playful. I’m inspired by so many things, the ordinary and everyday are important subject matter, along with more abstract themes. I try to bring a sense of joy and freedom to everything I create and memories of childhood definitely feature!

As well as printing myself, I love to teach printing and any creative art activities and this is something I have done continuously in my self employment.

🌈I’m looking forward to some new ventures and collaborations in 2021 after feeling a bit of a hermit this year. Much as I have mixed feelings about social media, there is no doubt it has been a positive in many ways this year in terms of connection and frankly keeping businesses afloat. I’m so grateful for your continued support on here. 😘

There is a lot of this going on in my studio at the moment.

This large abstract woodcut print is currently at Rheged for the Great Northern Print Exhibition.
I’ve shared the first stages of creating this print in my stories. Apologies if the speed of the wood cutting bit makes you feel queasy!
I know that my heart lies in creating more of these larger ‘one off’ abstract prints and I’m even thinking about creating larger fabric wall hangings too. Something to really get my juices flowing in 2021

I love a city break and this invariably includes a visit to a cathedral. Not for any religious purposes but I just love the architecture , the stained glass windows, the atmosphere. Anyway these lino cut printed angels onto wood are definitely inspired by my love of a cathedral visit and in particular Coventry Cathedral, which has to be my favourite! Ah, I can’t wait to be able to do things like that again...
For any Cathedral lovers out there, are there any you would recommend? I’ve seen a lot but I’m always interested in suggestions! Once we can get out and about visiting that is. 😀
In the meantime if you would like to see a bit more information about these ‘flat pack’ Angels, do please visit my shop ( link in bio)
