We love these hand-printed wooden decorations by Carys Ink, available in various shades of red, prink and white, both individually or in sets of three.  In fact, we liked them so much, they're currently in pride of place in our window display, hanging from The Print Shop's wooden tree.

Carys' clever bottle top decorations flew out of the door, so make sure you snap these beauties up while stocks last!

We love these innovative advent calendars from Pirrip Press.  Forget chocolate; harness your creativity, and colour in a different arctic animal every day of the week in the countdown until Christmas.  We reckon you'll have as much fun with this as the little ones.

You'll have to hurry though!  There are only a few left, priced at only £5 each.

New for Volume 4: Calendars



Let's kick start our calendar round-up with this gorgeous original textile calendar by Elena Ortiz.  This illustrated wall chart has been beautifully printed onto brightly coloured reams of fabric, and finished with string so that you can hang it up as a vibrant addition to your home, office or studio, or give it to a loved one as a unique Christmas gift.

It's available in lots of lovely colours at only £12, so snap one up while stocks last (it's been a very popular addition to Volume 4, and we can see why!).

To find out more about Elena and her diverse range of working processes, have a read of her Meet the Printmaker interview here.

Workshop spotlight: Botanical Monoprinting


Katharina Nyilas is running a very exciting new workshop next week, giving you the chance to experiment with her Botanical Monoprinting technique. Katharina's work is hugely inspired by environmental concerns, and using recycled or unusual reclaimed materials to produce her artwork and teach workshops with.  This class is no exception! You'll be using all sorts of wonderful natural foraged things, such as fallen leaves, winter berries, and plants sourced by Katharina.

To give you a taste of what to expect, Katharina ran a bit of a demo of her workshop last week, with some beautiful results, and took some pictures to share with us.  I don't know about you, but I really want to give this a go!






Katharina's printmaking inductees produced some really beautiful prints, and were thrilled to walk away with a set of monoprinted gift-tags, cards and envelopes.

You don't have to be an artist or a printmaker to do this workshop.  You'll have a lot of fun learning new techniques, and Katharina's confident you'll get a lot out of the experience, alongside some lovely paper goods!


The workshop takes place on Tuesday 26 November, at The Print Shop in Quakers Friars from 6-9pm.

You can visit the workshop page here for more information.

New for Volume 4: Hand-printed decorations

HAND-PRINTED DECORATIONS BY LUCY DAVEY

We were very excited to see these beautiful, hand screen-printed decorations by Lucy Davey appear in The Print Shop for Volume 4.

Lucy has been busy in the Drawn in Bristol studio, printing these two-colour designs onto cute wooden hearts, which are ready to hang from your tree with a delicate brown cord.  Although they're suitably festive, we reckon you could get away with pinning them up as a lovely keepsake all year round.

There's a limited number of these for sale in the shop, so snap them up while stocks last!

To learn more about Lucy and her bold illustrative style, have a read of her Meet the Printmaker interview.

Workshop: Papercutting with Sarah Dennis

Sarah Dennis returns to The Print Shop this Thursday with her popular papercutting workshop.

In the workshop, you will learn the fundamental techniques and tricks for creating artwork with only a craft knife and paper, whilst experiencing the calming process of paper cutting and the dramatic aesthetic effect that the medium offers.

To give you a taste of what the class will be like, Sarah has taken some wonderful photographs of her October workshop, which we thought we'd share with you.






Sarah is offering an introductory workshop to papercutting on Thursday 14 November, and a class for slightly more experienced papercutters on Wednesday 20 November.  For more information, click here.
