Letter sent to Print Club London

In the hope of getting a response back, I am going to use the approach of letter writing directly to them. I really really want an internship with Print Club London ! I also enclosed a limited edition screen print too. Below is the letter I have written to the studio director of Print Club London. Address to the specific person at the top then the following :

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 Print Club London since very start of my degree.  I love that you make print accessible through workshops and allow people to gain a full and supportive print experience, enabling them to produce work they can be proud of and creating a space not only for beginners but for professionals to get top-notch prints whilst also promoting them. You’re keeping print alive and going because print is not dead!

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. As part of 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 council's 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 Print Club London, 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 – megannaylorwardle@gmail.com

Hope you have a great day, and I enclose one of my prints for you.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Megan !
