Urban legend has it that almost every house in Sheffield has a James Green print on their wall … So, let’s find out about the man behind the printing block …

Hi James. So let’s start with finding out how long you’ve been stocked at the Sheffield Makers Winter Gardens shop:

Since 2016, I think...

And what’s one thing people might not know about you?

I'm also a musician and I play an instrument called a harmoniflute..

How long have you been printmaking, and what’s your favourite thing about it?

Around 16 years.. My favourite thing is probably revealing the first print... it is always exciting.

And what's the most important piece of advice you could give to someone wanting to begin printmaking?

Try as many kinds of printmaking as you can. There are so many to choose from! Maybe take a short course to see what you prefer..

Finally: Fingers for toes or toes for fingers? 😂🤔

The former, clearly... my job would be a bit more tricky the other way around!
