  • 5/5 from Arian Johnson, attended Jun 2026: We were a group of 17 for a Hen Party. Shannon was great, engaging and helpful. Everyone really enjoyed the session even those that claimed they 'weren't creative'. Thank you Shannon for the wonderful session.
  • 5/5 from Paige Stevens, attended Jul 2025: We had the most wonderful time - Shannon was super friendly, explained everything clearly and made the experience easy, fun and enjoyable. We were downstairs which was nice and cool and private. Shannon helped make sure we had all the skills required to be able to complete the artwork. Highly recommend booking very fun group activity! Thank you so much x
  • 5/5 from Helena Boultwood, attended Jun 2025: Lovely class, the atmosphere was really friendly and the teacher was clear in her instructions. My piece came out much better than I'd anticipated!
  • 5/5 from Lisa Wills, attended Jun 2025: A great night. Lovely teacher, enjoyable atmosphere and a great evening. Lots of images to trace for those of is who are not artistically inclined. A great experience. Highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Kathryn Janes, attended May 2025: Our tutor Shannon was very welcoming and friendly. She explained each procedure very well and was happy to go over anything if anyone was unsure. The quality of the materials provided was excellent and we each a wide array of colours to choose from. I thoroughly enjoyed this activity and would love to do it again.

  • 5/5 from Ha Tong, attended Mar 2025: Shannon came to a location of our choice which made the event much more relaxed as we had drinks & nibbles & more flexibility on the date & time. Aprons & all equipment were provided. Some were nervous about what to paint but we had some pics to trace which was great & Shannon was really friendly & helpful. There were 9 of us & we all did something different. We all enjoyed it, thank you!
  • 5/5 from Janet Paiocchi, attended Dec 2024: Shannon was a lovely host and artist. We were a private booking of twelve who decided to have the afternoon to relax and paint. Silk painting was something we had never attempted before but Shannon was marvellous at getting us set up and showing us how it was done, including different techniques and how to use the different paints. We first did a small practise one and then a larger one once we were confident. They turned out beautiful and I currently have my already hung up on my wall. I would highly recommend this artist and activity.

I'm Shannon, a creative living in Bristol. I first started lino printing in 2020, and furthered my practice with a textiles design and printmaking course at Spike Island.
I love immersing myself in a range of artistic pursuits and sharing my knowledge with others. I get really inspired by seeing what people make in my workshops.
I have been running lino printing classes since 2022, plus a host of others!
