Jo Scotford Cyanotype Art is a small creative studio based in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, producing handcrafted cyanotype artwork and textile homeware.

All work is designed and made in Bridgnorth using traditional cyanotype printing methods. Original compositions are created from botanical arrangements, hand-drawn artwork, photographic negatives, and direct plant forms. Prints are exposed with UV light, then washed and toned to produce a distinctive muted palette. This toning process moves away from the usual bright blue, resulting in subtle, home-friendly finishes.

Our core product range includes hand-printed textile lighting such as lampshades and lanterns, night lights and small decorative lighting pieces, greeting cards, and limited-run seasonal items produced in small batches.

All stages of printing, toning, cutting, mounting, and assembly are carried out in-house. We prioritise quality materials and careful finishing over volume production. Products are intentionally made in small quantities to maintain originality and consistency.

The work is influenced by nature, traditional printmaking, and heritage photographic processes, with an emphasis on calm, timeless design

MARIE ROBERTS

I create vibrant, floral compositions that blend painting, printmaking and experimental techniques. Drawing inspiration from my own garden, and the surrounding countryside, I combine floral art with wild birds and animals to create a wild edge to my work.
I have been commissioned many times to make work for private collectors and I am always happy to discuss a project.

LIZ MELLOR

| bridgnorthopenhouse

I am a Shrewsbury based illustrator working under the name Lizzistration. My work celebrates the people, places and everyday landmarks that shape my life. As a proud Salopian, I draw inspiration from local architecture, pubs, sporting culture and family connections, capturing scenes that hold shared meaning within the community. I work digitally using Procreate, building images through layered line and colour to create vibrant compositions that balance structure with spontaneity.

My illustrations reimagine familiar buildings and moments, using bold colour palettes and transparent overlays to evoke collective memory while reflecting the town’s evolving landscape. The work feels both contemporary and nostalgic, offering a fresh perspective on places people think they know.

Alongside my full-time role as an art teacher, I have developed a home studio where I continue to expand my practice. I am currently exploring ways to translate my digital illustrations into printed and clay-based outcomes, extending my imagery beyond paper. Although my work is rooted in personal experience, it aims to resonate widely through a strong sense of place, identity and community.
