About

We are a print collective and riso studio based in Portsmouth. We are both graphic designers with a passion for print. Marie is an award winning graphic designer, freelance designer and senior university lecturer teaching graphic design and is Adobe Certified. Darren is a graphic designer, illustrator and total print din and a fellow part time lecturer too. We hold several professional memberships including The British Printing Society, The Society of Bookbinders and The Oxford Guild of Printers.

We design, make and sell prints as well as pins, stationery and apparel online and from our studio at The Hotwalls Studios.

We love to teach so we also run workshops in Risograph Printing, Letterpress, Bookbinding, Book Design, Lego Printing, Foiling, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. We also run kids printing workshops including Lego printing, Risograph printing and Paper Making.

We are have lots of big plans and feel very lucky to have a beautiful studio that backs onto the beach that houses our three risos, letterpress, bookbinding equipment and heat presses as well as a tonne of hot inks and fancy paper stocks.

We've got so much work to add to the website but we will get there! To keep up to date with our work, experiments and processes follow us here:
