Love to Print

BUY PRINTMAKING KITS

I started Love to Print in 2017 to share my love of printmaking. After studying Fine Art I trained to be a teacher and have taught art and photography for over 18 years alongside being an artist. When I took a short career break launching Love to Print Art Kits seemed a good way to combine my two passions; printmaking and teaching.
