Ash Leaf Printmaking

He studied illustration at Brighton University, where he focused on printmaking. Ashely continued with this specialism and now produces limited edition lino and wood cut prints with a twist; incorporating embossing into all of his designs, which gives them a unique look and feel. All of the prints are embossed by hand using his three etching presses. As a designer, Ashley is inspired by nature and the patterns within it, combining this with bold, graphic designs.

For the last fifteen years he has been a supplier in the greetings cards industry, operating under the company name Linoking Cards. These bright, contemporary designs are individually hand embossed and printed on recycled paper and papers from sustainable sources. In the past Ashley has supplied to the likes of RHS, Eden Project, National Trust, and V&A.

​In 2016, he renamed the company to coincide with the building of his new studio. Built under an ash tree in the heart of Sussex, he designed and built the studio himself which has helped suit the exacting needs of his work. Ashley now spends most of his time printing, making letterpress prints, screen printed tea towels, as well as hand embossed paper products, such as greeting cards and calendars.

His latest piece, Red Kites Over the South Downs, is a six colour reduction lino print finished with hand embossing.
