Delighted to announce that Thought Press Project has re-launched for 2025, with the theme of ‘Sound & Vision’! Inspired by the classic song by David Bowie.
The project runs with up to 100 UK printmakers kindly donating their artwork to raise funds for The Children's Book Project and Edible Rotherhithe.
Alongside @ediblerotherhithe, our second charity this year is @childrensbookproject. This is a great charity that seeks to tackle book poverty, and give every child the opportunity to own their own book.
Book ownership has been directly linked with improved mental health amongst children and a greater propensity to read for pleasure, whilst reading fluency itself has a significant impact on children’s successful progression through education.
Follow the hashtag #thoughtpressproject on social media to see the project in action and development of designs for final prints! Visit the Shop to order a print.

‘Sun-kissed’ is a reduction Lino print with a mono-printed background, that was created using a gel press. I incorporated the Adinkra symbol ‘OWIA KOKROKO’ which translates as ‘greatness of the sun’. In my print, the woman’s head is raised in honour of the sun, celebrating all the beauty in life.
