Meet Shaun Carey, painting tutor at Putney School of Art & Design.

Shaun’s approach is rooted in process, observation and discovery. Through repeated images, changing locations and layers of paint, his work develops its own character, direction and visual language.

Listen to Shaun share more about his creative approach, the courses he teaches, life at the school, and how creativity, community and connection can support wellbeing.

The magic of printmaking is in the process.

Carving, inking, pressing, lifting — each step has its own rhythm, and every print carries small details that make it unique. Here’s a glimpse inside our lino print class at PSAD, where students explore technique, texture and their own creative ideas.

If you’d like to try it yourself, join us this May Half Term for Lino Print Day - part of our short art courses running on 26 and 27 May.
