It is my shopkeeper birthday today! @printsofhay is 1 year old! It’s gone quick and I must say I’ve learned a lot, it’s amazing how the shop changes and adapts organically with time, Images are of the shop how it is and how it was.
Thanks everyone who has visited and supported me!
Hopefully see you soon at Wales first print shop ! (Or last depending which direction you’re going).

I have been so proud to work closely with new independent businesses in Wales and use my designs to help promote their new ventures.
Here are some tote bag designs from 2 brilliant new shops in Hay :
@gayonwye@north_books_hay
And @tynookshop in Llangollen.
As an independent shop keeper myself (@printsofhay ) it’s been great to be a small@of part of this concerted effort in Hay to create/maintain a community that helps and supports each other. #illustration #design #print #printmaking #handmade #lino #linocut #screenprint #drawing #hayonwye #art #totebag
Now restocked @printsofhay ! A small history of Rhubard ‘Talking Rhubarb’ written and designed by @35mmfan illustrated by me, this book shows Rhubarbs origins in China , its dangers and how it became a staple in Britain and in particular Yorkshire.
I love this book and loved working on it! it is a beautiful thing.

I have been using dip pens a lot lately and really experimenting with calligraphy.
This design was a good excuse to practice letter forms
