Print Club will be taking a break over the winter as the studio is having an overhaul and I’ll be looking at restructuring the membership programme with the aim of making it more accessible to everyone…

All current Roots Press members have been refunded and I’ll be in touch in the new year with our new dates and how you can get involved.

Our RISO print service is still very much running throughout the week so please do send over your print files, we’ve got some fantastic zine projects on the schedule this week! 😍

Upcoming Riso Workshop dates will be shared soon, really looking forward to getting you all back in the studio as it’s very quiet without you! 💚 by @rootspress

A long dusty slow summer on the road. 🚲 🌿 🌲 🌊 ⛺️

We drove the length of the country down to the south coast of Cornwall. Dusty lanes, long cycles along the cliffs, cold swims in the sea. Met beautiful souls along the way and sat down with the local buisnesses and apothecaries , Thank you @rootspress

The last long ride ended at a friend’s caravan. Thank you @jyotinomad @anatla.soul for the roof, the stove and dreamy landscapes.

A few days’ rest back in London, then off to Medicine Festival. I nearly didn’t go. Left the ego at home and went anyway. Found old friends again @matterwholefoods @ohmyshrooms some deep deep convos with @morganicswellness @sunshinelifeyoga - so Glad I did.

That’s the work, really. Our Herbs carried up and down the country by hand, to people who care where they come from.

@edna_sounds 🌿 @theseamossboss1 🙏🏾💫

Now we’re back on the ground in London. Plugging back in.

Thank you to everyone who fed us @amruthauk, you saved me amongst many others!

We’ve had a heartwarming week running our blockprinting stand @medicinefestival - omeeting so many interesting individuals, sharing their worldly stories over the printing table. Much love and kindness - it truly fills the soul with hope and what stays with you is a feeling of energy and inspiration!
Big thanks to the @rootspress print team who ran the stand with me and to the medicine community who joined us and shared their creativity in their unique and super sustainable garments!
Hope to see you again very soon 💚
