Anna Johnson

I am the creative director of Green Door, passionately committed to enlivening the art of fine art printmaking.
Green Door is a small Open Access Printmaking Studio with an environmentally friendly stance.

It is the only such facility in Derby and aims to create a supportive environment for printmakers to use the facilities on a sessional basis when joining.

It also offers a chance to exhibit and sell your work on invitation, and will introduce you to others of like mind who are setting up a community to share ideas about new printmaking techniques.

The Photopolymer and Acrylic Resist etching techniques taught at Green Door are based on the pioneering work of Alfons Bytautas RSA DA (Edin.) at the Edinburgh Printmakers Workshop while our studio-based Waterless Lithography process is that developed by Professor Nik Semenoff in Canada. Green Door continues to draw upon new printmaking developments worldwide in order to make the printmaking world a smaller place and help our Artists to incorporate the very best of the new while keeping their own distinct voice.
