Hi, I’m Willow, the person behind The Willow Leaf.

I create a range of lino prints, from single-colour to multi-colour reduction prints. I also run lino printing workshops.

I’m based in Oxfordshire, though I gain most (if not all) of my inspiration from the coastlines around the UK. I had my first introduction to carving lino back in secondary school, even if it was only one lesson… I went on to study photography at college, completely forgetting about Lino. After completing my diploma, I decided to get the basic equipment needed to give printing another go. I started sharing my work on Instagram, and I soon fell in love with the printing process; the excitement of printing a new block is still just as strong all these years later!
