Hi, I’m Mags, a designer, printmaker, and educator based in London. I run Galley, my creative studio where I make handprinted cards, art prints, and stationery inspired by colour, craft, and slow living.
My background is in graphic design, but I fell in love with lino printing; the rhythm of carving, inky hands, the satisfying reveal of each print. Now I also teach others how to create their own pieces, combining design thinking with traditional printmaking techniques.
Join me for one of my relaxed, hands-on sessions where we carve, print, and enjoy the process of making something beautifully imperfect, one print at a time.
