Meet our Teachers
Sue Lewry
Sue Lewry is a Plymouth-based artist, experimental printmaker and educator whose practice explores materiality, participation and hands-on making. A visual magpie, she works across screen print, collage, paper, textiles and wood, using making as a way to think, test ideas and allow new possibilities to emerge.
Her practice moves between socially engaged projects and individual studio enquiry and is embedded in the cultural fabric of Plymouth. She is the founder of Colossal, her mobile screen-print studio, which takes printmaking beyond conventional studio settings and into public and unexpected spaces. Her public work includes the North Cross subway murals, as well as collaborative projects with communities, artists and organisations across the city.
Alongside her practice, Sue is an educator and early career researcher at Arts University Plymouth. Her research considers how constraints and abundance shape creativity across analogue and digital approaches, informing both her social practice and her ongoing exploration of making, collaboration and authorship.

Typography + Screen Printing with Sue Lewry
Join printmaker and educator, Sue Lewry, for a day exploring typography through screen printing.
Working with letterforms, colour, layering and composition, you’ll experiment with ink on paper to create a collection of screenprints. Sue will provide papers and vintage ephemera — with the option to bring along your own found papers, maps, pages, and printed matter to add to the mix.
There’s no fixed outcome. You might create a finished print, a series of experiments, or a collection of printed material to cut up, collage and bring into your wider creative practice.
Sue will be there to guide you through the process, sharing her love of screen printing and encouraging you to experiment, play and see where the process takes you.
