Meet the Team
Shirley
Shirley started Handprinted as a part time venture in 2003 alongside teaching printmaking in an Adult Education college. 20 years ago now - where did that time go? She looks after the business side of Handprinted, stock control, finance, booking tutors, teaches some of the classes in the studio and packs some of the orders. A lover of process and technique, wanting to understand how and why products do what they do. In her spare time, she is an avid yoga practitioner and walker. Still trying to master the perfect handstand after years and years of trying.
Holly
Holly is the Handprinted Studio Manager. Holly started part time helping Shirley packing orders when she was at University many years ago. Holly looks after the studio with the help of Rachel, exposes some custom screens, writes some blog posts, creates the YouTube videos, liases with our visiting tutors, packs some orders and teaches some of the classes in the studio.
Jez
Jez started as a customer of Handprinted, came on a course then became a part time member of staff until he went full time in 2018. Jez packs most of the orders, weighs and measures Handprinted's own products, packs the Handprinted kits and keeps the shop stocked up and looking good. Jez is a lover of linocut and drypoint and has an etsy shop theartfulprinter where he sells his wares. In his spare time, he is a keen bird nerd and can often be spotted with this camera and binoculars around the harbour and local area.
Bridget
Bridget is the Handprinted Shop Manager. She makes sure our website is looking great and up to date, takes photos of our products, creates some of the Handprinted blogs, looks after our social media, keeps on top of lots of stock ordering, teaches some Fab Fridays and packs some orders too. Bridget likes to explore all of the processes that printmaking has to offer. In her spare time she enjoys reading, catching up on TV shows and obsessing about her Volvo 940 called Aubrey!
Maud
Maud works part time, she packs some orders, helps keep the shelves well stocked, serves customers, updates our huge blog library (making sure all the photos are there) and teaches some Fab Fridays. A whizz at cutting fabric! Maud is a textile printing fanatic, designing and cutting wooden printing blocks using a CNC machine and printing repeat pattern lengths that she uses to print fabrics for her shop. Loves cows, especially Belted Galloways!
