Georgie Estill

Georgie Estill is a Graphic Artist, Designer and Printmaker based in Robin Hood’s Bay on the North East coastline of Yorkshire. She graduated from Winchester School of Art in 2018 holding a first class BA with honours in Graphic Arts, specialising in Graphic Design. Her work mostly tackles cultural and societal issues from a vibrant and optimistic perspective.

This is showcased in a publication & protest poster series created for and published by the Parliamentary Archives. We’ve Come A Long Long Way Together addresses the lack of engagement between young people and their right to vote.

Another University project, Northern Voices, was a response to a countrywide brief inviting students to examine a set of words. This triggered Georgie’s exploration into her northern dialect. For the piece she used screen printed fluorescent inks in an immersive way to challenge preconceptions, using UV to ‘shed a new light’ on stereotyping.   

Adopting a psychoanalytical approach in her final major project, Are We Human took form in a Graphic Artist’s Book. In this book she shows how humanism can elevate graphic design (in practice, process, production, and typographic treatment & classification) whilst also examining the mental barriers we face towards design for social change.

After her degree, Georgie volunteered in the printing workshop at Amberley Museum where she worked under traditional typesetters and printers from the industry before the digital switch. Her obsession with Linotype brought her to the museum as a research project and it was there that her passion for Letterpress printing truly flourished. She continues to revive printmaking as a letterpress and screen printer in her small scale studio which is home to her Adana HS2, with the enthusiastic outlook needed to keep print alive.
