Sam Groom

Sam is a Sheffield based printmaker specialising in wood and lino-cut printing onto paper, cardboard and fabric although she really enjoy all forms of printmaking, particularly when they don’t involve too much technical equipment! She recently took the leap and became a full-time printmaker after over twelve years teaching art and textiles in secondary school.  She works from her home studio, using her treasured ‘Rollaco’ press.  Sam takes her ideas ideas from the everyday things around as well as the songs and stories she shares with her 6 year old daughter.  When not printing, she is to be found hard at work on her allotment.
