Dear People of Print.
Hello! My name is
Megan Naylor – Wardle, currently in the final year of my degree at Leeds Arts
University in BA (Hons) Illustration.
I am writing to you
is to ask if I could get a placement or internship with you? (Or even pop in
for a chat!) I have been following People of Print since the start of my degree. I
love that you make print accessible through different platforms such as your
website, events and publications, especially Print Isn’t Dead. In addition, offering
not just a print studio for creative professionals to get top-notch prints whilst
also promoting them, but for commercial brands and allowing political and
social issues to be challenged within the work you publish and encouraging
creative collaboration between designers. You’re keeping print alive and going!
I am keen to learn more about how print can be used to educate and inform in a
growing digital age.
Throughout my
degree, I have developed a very strong interest and knowledge of traditional printmaking
methods. These include Screen (both paper and fabric), Lino, Mono, Etching. I
was also recently given the title of key holder to the print room facility at
the university, which entails being responsible for the equipment, machines and
to print after normal opening hours, when the technicians leave for the day.
Alongside this, I
have organised and run creative workshops for my current part-time job at the
university as part of the ambassador team for 3 years. As part of this role, I
am often giving tours to large groups of people, explaining the different
facilities we have at the university so I am confident in public speaking but
the job has allowed me to work with a wide range of people. For my final year
dissertation, I decided to carry out a series of self-initiated workshops in
collaboration with the British Refugee Council. As part of the 4-month
collaboration I ran and organised several print based workshops for the
Refugees and Asylum seekers, who use the councils services. It was fantastic to
use print as a tool to create a positive impact and make it accessible to the
individuals who took part and could try something new.
When I
graduate in July I would love to be a part of a positive creative environment
like you have at People of Print, so would relish at the chance to get an
experience of it.
Thank you for your
time. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions –

Hope you have a
great day, and I enclose one of my prints for you.
Look forward to
hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Megan !
