Collagraph Deep Dive — back at the studio this May

Peon is running a six-evening printmaking, starting 18th May, and there are still places if you’re interested.
It’s a proper deep dive into collagraph — from building richly textured plates right through to pulling a finished edition. We’ll work through developing imagery, experimenting with materials and adhesives, refining your inking and wiping technique, and exploring multi-colour printing through layering and registration. Curiosity-led, hands-on, and unhurried.

Monday evenings, 6–9pm: 18th & 25th May, then 1st, 8th, 15th & 22nd June.

If you’ve been wanting to get into printmaking properly — not just a taster, but the real thing — this is that course. More details and booking at bio 👆🏼

Our Collagraph workshop is BACK‼️

A hands-on, curiosity-led course exploring collagraph from first idea to finished edition. You’ll learn how to develop imagery, build richly textured plates, and translate surface into print. Week by week we’ll experiment with materials and adhesives, refine inking and wiping, and explore multi-colour printing through layering and registration. Expect playful tests, practical demos, and plenty of time to build a small body of prints with depth, atmosphere, and your own visual voice.

Monday evening 18:00-21:00 £288

Starting 18th May, 25th, 1st June, 8th, 15th, 22nd June

Two Materials, One still life

Started these two drawings as a demo for my students — they wanted to see how charcoal and pencil behave differently. Ran out of time in class, so I took them back to the studio to finish properly.
Charcoal and pencil are both dry drawing media but they couldn’t feel more different in your hand. Charcoal is immediate, expressive, forgiving — you can push it around and build dark tones fast. Pencil demands more patience, more control, more commitment to every mark.
Same subject. Two very different conversations.

Can we talk about how good the sun felt this week? ☀️

After all that rain and wind, stepping into the studio and actually feeling warmth was everything. The field looked beautiful, the snowdrops are out, and the animals were making the most of it — same as us.

With the warmer season on its way, we’re getting ready to open our doors to the public again. Drawing, printmaking, paper textiles, and ceramics courses are all coming up.
Stay close — we’d love to have you here. 🌸

Thank You from Old Cartshed Studio

A huge thank you to everyone who visited us this weekend at Old Cartshed Studio—it truly means so much.

I know we’re one of the furthest spots on the WAOH trail, and quite a few of you got a little lost on the way… but you didn’t give up. You found us, and we’re so grateful you did.

It’s been such a joy to welcome you, chat about the work, and share the space with so many kind and curious people. Your support, interest, and presence make it all worthwhile.

If you haven’t made it yet—we’re open again next weekend:
27–28 September, 11am–5pm

We’d love to see you.
