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.
