I am pleased to announce that one of my small Tetra Pak prints has been selected for exhibition in the Ironbridge Printmaking Competition 2025.

This annual international competition celebrates both traditional and contemporary approaches to printmaking and will be held at Ironbridge Fine Arts, Shropshire.

Tetra Pak printmaking is a technique I frequently explore within my own practice and share through the workshops I deliver. I’m drawn to its accessible and sustainable qualities, transforming everyday materials into tools for creative expression.
It feels especially meaningful that the selected piece began as a workshop demonstration, a reflection of how teaching and making are deeply interconnected within my practice.

The exhibition runs from 11 October to 22 November 2025 and can be viewed both in person and online. Works are also available for purchase, and enquiries about specific pieces can be made via the following link: ifaonlinegallery.oess1.uk.
