I love the interactions that Makers Markets enable us to have!

From people who know nothing about printmaking to those who love it, every engagement is enjoyable!

Sharing your passion with others is such a blessing.

A lovely light-filled space! I love the colour swatch board at the end of your print table.

Excited to be releasing my new wetlands print, ‘Soft Wings on Still Water’. The second print in my wetland series, depicting Pygmy geese gliding on still tropical wetland waters with Archer fish below and Rainbow Bee-eaters in the sky above.

Wow! Using oil-based inks would really extend the time taken for you to print the edition! But they do give a much nicer result, I agree. 🧡👍🏻

Printing this little block for the 2025 Print Exchange by Sally Caston. Loving using Speedball Professional inks and the intense black result.

Called ‘Sweet Tjala’ after the Pitjantjatjara word for honey ants that live in the desert.
