Kristyna Baczynski
Kristyna loves making prints, comics, zines, stickers and bookmarks that communicate a heady mix of joy, adventure and nostalgia. She uses a beast of a double-drum risograph printer to layer colourful inks and low-fi textures with bold, graphic shapes, folkore-inspired natural forms and expressive characters. Her favourite riso colour is fluorescent pink... and she says "it's hard to control the urge to use it on everything I make."
Mantric Roots
Hannah Limbachia is a Leeds based lino printer and aromatherapist, who takes inspiration from her South Asian roots, she specialises in block printing and mandalas.
Mike Bentley
Mike has been turning wood for over 40 years. He concentrates on turning one-off pieces working with more difficult or unusual pieces of locally grown timber – making use of the natural shape of the tree by exposing the grain or ‘defects’ within it in an interesting and/or sympathetic way. He particularly enjoys working with burred or damaged material, revealing the beauty within the wood and letting its shape and form suggest the design of the finished piece. All the timber he uses is either reclaimed or sourced locally, here in Yorkshire. Each unique piece is individually hand turned and then finished using natural waxes or oils.
Saltaire Print Maker
An illustrator, lino printer and designer based in Saltaire Yorkshire.
Lou Yates
Lou is a locally-based garden designer with 25+ years’ experience under her belt, creating and working in gardens. Lou studied landscape architecture at the University of Sheffield before working in a variety of public and private roles designing spaces for social housing, community groups and public green space. She then spent 10 years working in private gardens of all kinds across London & the South East before moving back to the North. Her special interests are edible gardens and urban greening.
KT Shepherd
In 2011 KT Shepherd undertook a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) with the late Patrick Whitefield at Ragmans Farm, and then in 2013 completed a second PDC - Earth Activist Training - with Starhawk in Cazadero, California. In 2015 she completed the Permaculture Association (Britain) Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design.
