Rosamund Coady
Inspired by traditional Still Lives, Coady cuts out simple shapes representing ordinary objects – lemons, tomatoes, cups and glasses.
She prints in a limited colour palette, aiming to give the work a charge from the overlapping colour.
Previously working in clay, Coady uses the same playful approach to her work as a printmaker – using interlocking shapes and happenstance as part of the whole.
Coady has had her work shown in British galleries across the UK and featured in art and interior publications.

Liz Collini
My language-based prints, drawings and installations interrogate often very familiar words and phrases at the point where text and image converge and become entwined, sometimes involving processes of detailed construction, sometimes erasing and dissolving text.
A commissioned piece is on display as a site-specific installation in the Victoria and Albert Museum's Prints and Drawings Study Room. Works are also held in the collections of the British Museum, in the International Text Archive at Bury Museum and Art Gallery, and in Portugal’s National Library.
Prints and drawings have featured in a number of publications, in particular those developed from the International Text Festivals held in Bury, Greater Manchester, and have been shown widely in the UK and abroad, including several times at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
I graduated in Fine Art Printmaking from the RCA in 2007. I have a studio in Wood Green, North London.

Sam Dring
I started experimental printing about 9 years ago and became excited with all the textures I could print, often, care of 'the pound shop' and I found I liked to combine this with nature, so my theme became 'man made' juxtaposition with nature. I used several techniques often combining them, mono printing, lino prints, woodcuts and sugar lift.
I then got interested in etching and started about 7 years ago. I loved the old processes used in etching and aquatint and how it lent itself to detailed work.
This print was inspired by my travels in India, when i saw the Taj, I just had to record it.

Caroline Elliott
Caroline work’s as a printmaker and artist and is attracted to the quiet, overlooked or neglected elements of nature, cycles of the seasons, of the growth, of change and records elements such as copses, mosses, lichens, seeds, rare wildflowers or thicket berries in differing types of landscapes, ancient hedgerows or woodlands.
The printing methods she is currently engaged with are collographs, for the sheer expanse of possibility within intaglio and relief combinations, mixed with block print, silk screen print, monoprint, photopolymer print, drypoint or hand painting.

David Fishman
The inspiration for my etchings come from a love of atmospheric weather conditions, night, shadow and the romantic or dreamlike effect that I can achieve using the medium.
I have always drawn from life and my images start from detailed observation. Many stages are explored before I get to the finished piece.
My work derives from two major themes. Firstly Tulips: I love the complex sinuous shapes they form, especially when starting to wilt. Beauty to me comes from the plants as they age.
The other main subject in my Karate Gi (uniform). I am a 5th Dan Black belt in Goju Karate. Goju means hard/soft. It can be interpreted as combining opposites to make a harmonious whole. I started this series during the Covid lockdown.

Lydie Gallais
Growing up in France and being surrounded by Impressionist works has influenced me as an artist.
As a printmaker, I love mixing colours and textures together to see how they interact and influence each other. I also enjoy creating expressive marks to illustrate rhythm, movement and to transport the audience into my world. I am constantly experimenting and feel a sense of freedom in doing so.
I like making imaginary landscapes that people can relate to and lose themselves in. My artwork hopes to awaken the senses by conveying feelings and emotions.
I studied at Camberwell College of Art and obtained a master’s degree in Printmaking in 2003.

Matthias Glaser
Matthias discovered his love for printmaking as a teenager and has since worked with techniques such as linocut, woodcut, monoprint, collagraphy, and intaglio methods like drypoint, aquatint, softground, mezzotint, and polymer photogravure. His artistic influences include Hieronymus Bosch, Rembrandt, Caspar David Friedrich, Giorgio Morandi, Emil Nolde, and Hanns Georgi.
His art is often based on visual impressions, exploring the boundary between realism and pure abstraction by working in series.

Alan MacKenzie
Alan MacKenzie started investigating techniques and media of artistic production after retirement. After producing a variety of paintings, in oils and acrylics, he also experimented with various modes of printmaking, including etching, woodcuts and linocuts. Eventually this led him to focus on the techniques and possibilities inherent in screenprinting.
His artistic objective is to present personages, images or buildings in ways that generate interesting colour and quirky design twists, utilising the multi-layered techniques of screenprinting. He has exhibited at Woolwich Contemporary Print and Bankside gallery among others.

Nigel Milner
Nigel Milner’s printmaking practice began at Maidstone Art College and continued at London’s Art Academy and the City Lit. He finds inspiration in drawing, in memory and in photos, selecting elements from these to create the composition,.
His cityscapes show constant change and renewal, exploring overlapping stories in shadows, marks and layers, symbols and graffiti.
His recent screen prints have begun with drawing and photographs, together with fragments from his other work. He finds mixing sources an effective way to develop the essence of a new composition.
Milner has been an Associate of East London Printmakers, and has exhibited with various groups including Running Jump and Printmakers Council. He has had prints selected for Bankside Gallery’s ‘Small but Mighty’ exhibition, and also for the Royal Academy Summer Show 2025.

Richard Peacock
Richard Peacock founded Running Jump Print Workshop in 2024.
In his printmaking, his imagery combines elements of geometric abstraction, op and pop art. Recent work has included text (inspired by current unsettling political developments) and highly schematic images of furniture (deriving with the COVID pandemic and lockdown).
The stencils for his prints come from a variety of sources: sometimes basic geometric shapes, but often recycled pieces of packaging folded flat and exposed onto a screen.
The “handmade” nature of his work is important to him – there are imperfections, gaps, overlaps and unexpected colours to discover.
He has exhibited widely and has work in collections in the UK, USA, France, Denmark and Sweden.

Kathy Rooney
Kathy Rooney is a printmaker and painter based in London and Suffolk. Her printmaking currently focuses on screenprint using an open screen, stencils and masks to create multilayered monotypes.
Key to her work is the development of a complex surface through overlapping vivid – often fluorescent – colours to attract the viewer’s eye. Her mainly abstract prints often evolve from questions such as coastal erosion, nature’s living environments under our feet, or even the patterns in stones or minerals. A late-comer to art practice, she has MA degrees in Fine Art and in Printmaking from Middlesex University, is a member of the Fankle Art Collective (www.fankle.art), an associate member of East London Printmakers and has exhibited in London, Suffolk, Bristol, Luxembourg and Madrid. Her works are in private collections in London, Suffolk, the USA and Greece.

Philippa Silver
Having explored a variety of printing techniques, I have adopted collagraph as something very flexible and fun. It appeals to my love of drawing as well as my liking for cutting and arranging shapes into a satisfying composition.
I have many inspirations for my work; I’m not alone in finding a rich source of material from the past. It could be my own history, an imagined memory from a much earlier time or an image inspired by literature.
I’m still exploring collagraph and learning from my mistakes. I’m hoping to push the boundaries of the collagraph plate and maybe combining with other types of print as well as drawing or paint.

Nancy Slonims
Nancy Slonims, is a graduate from the Royal College of Art. She has worked as a senior graphic designer and a freelance illustrator. She was also the Programme Leader of the BA Hons Illustration course at Middlesex University. She left in June 2024 to return to her freelance career.
Nancy’s etched collages, are an investigation into the visual interpretation of collage through the etching process. Her work translates the rich textures, surfaces and layers of collage into the particular qualities of an etched plate and the resulting print.
Her current project, Postcards from the FlipSide, is a series of Photo-etching and 3D Mixed Media Montages which are part of a body of work exploring solar etching on to postcards. These relate to the bizarre and the ‘other worldly’, through exploring the physicality of the postcard itself.
Nancy has recently exhibited at the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, the Royal Society of Artists and Printmakers, Birmingham, the Omnibus Art Centre, London, Left Cultures Group Exhibition, Bristol, Custom House Gallery, Scotland and Karamel Gallery, London.

Stella Yarrow
Stella Yarrow makes prints that explore her personal connection and experience with nature and reflect her response to the climate and ecological crisis. Her work delves into landscape and seascape as places of memory and imagination, that sometimes may not be of this world.
She works across diverse print techniques including linocut, woodcut, monoprint and wood lithography. In keeping with her environmental concerns, she works extensively with recycled materials such as Tetrapak cartons, cardboard and plastic packaging and textiles, to which she applies a highly experimental approach.
Stella has exhibited in shows in London and more widely in the UK. She loves to share her skills and enthusiasm for printmaking by teaching both beginners and more advanced students. She teaches monoprint, linocut and Tetrapak printmaking at Running Jump Print Workshop and also teaches at Art Academy London.
