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. 😘

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)

Happy Sunday everyone!
I really enjoy printing my free standing ‘flat pack’ prints. So called because they come with a plinth and they slot together to stand up. Thinking about it, they are definitely inspired by my memories of childhood toys and jigsaw puzzles from my 1960s/70’s childhood and there must be a bit of Scandinavia influence and IKEA thrown in too!
When I’m working on them I usually have lots of different colours out and I work on several pieces at once, printing different parts of each piece with a particular colour. It’s very absorbing and meditative. Less so when I am trying to figure out where to leave everything to dry!
When finished each piece is sealed with an archival varnish.
I have just added these two to my Etsy shop along with several other pieces.

Recently as you may have seen in previous posts, I

Recently as you may have seen in previous posts, I have been creating some colourful abstract linocut prints, mostly one off and small editions. I have sent some to Devon for @devonguildcrafts Make 2020 and some to Rheged, for the great Northern print exhibition. I have kept a few back and they are available to buy direct from me. Slightly smaller than A3 sizes, they are framed in a simple white frame, with a white mount and an almost completely non-reflective glass, meaning the prints are really clear and you don’t see a reflection in them as you sometimes do.
If you would like one of these original abstract linocut prints for your walls, please send me a message. I can post them to you or you could collect from me if you are local to Sheffield. Each framed print is £100 plus P&P.

I lay in bed this morning just after the alarm and listened to the rain hammering on the roof and the wind whistling around the chimney. The trees outside had their last leaves stripped off as the wind swept through the branches. Such a contrast to yesterday which was such a perfect autumn/winter day with bright sunlight and a chill in the air.
To celebrate those days I created these Autumn and Winter tree prints, which combine wood, linocut and screen printing. The tree is cut from a section of plywood and I love that the grain of the wood shows in the print.
If you would like one of these prints which fit perfectly into an A3 size frame, I have editions giclees of all of available in my shop with free postage.

I have some of my Christmas decorations available now in my Etsy shop ( link in my bio)
I did enjoy thinking up the colour combinations for each one. The stars are challenging to do two colours with but I really like them with black!
