So good to have you along! ‘Start Printmaking Today’ is on its way to your inbox as you’re reading this.
But while I have you…can I ask you where you are at with making? Feel like it might need a little TLC to fall in love with it again? Then keep reading…
Can you remember the last time you felt that little thrill of ‘oh I really love that’ during your art practice?
Give yourself permission to play – and rediscover that thrill.
The thrill of…
-
peeling back paper from your surface, to find marks and textures that delight you
-
Finding your ‘artistic handwriting’ through playful experimentation
-
Seeing your studio with new, ready-to-play, eyes
This is what mark-making is all about. And it’s foundational to your art practice.
Inside Make Your Mark you'll find video elements and recordings of ‘live’ and-printing sessions, all meant to guide and inspire you to make your own mark, your way.
In this short course we will be exploring printing by hand without a printing press. This creates monoprints: one-off painterly prints with stunning texture and marks.
This way of printing is accessible to all and needs very little specialist equipment or space.
This course has been developed from the live event first run in February 2026 and so has pre-recorded video elements and recordings of 'live' hand-printing sessions.
When this event runs again, you'll also have lifetime access to any future live sessions, so it's excellent value for money.
Available from this page for only £20 (usual price £27)
You'll come out from this short shake-up of your practice with...
- Sooo many ways to make marks that you never even imagined
- A process to turn to when you're not sure what your work needs
- An open-ness to using the tools and materials you already have in new ways
- Tons of collage fodder!
- A way to discover (and keep discovering) your 'artistic handwriting'
- A simple way in to printmaking at home
And a creative freedom that lets the joy back in.

Who’s your tutor?
I’m an artist with a BA (Hons) in Illustration, over 20 years of home hand-printing experience as well as extensive print studio experience.
I’ve always loved the marks and textures of printmaking, (the smell of ink gives me a little thrill), and I now teach others via my free resources and online courses.
I’m a firm believer in DIY and the low-tech, and I’ve guided 100’s of students to push their boundaries, find creative flow, and create art that they love.
