id you always want to be an illustrator?
Yes—I’ve been drawing ever since I was really
little, but I studied graphic design when I went to col-
lege, and pretty much worked solely on graphic design
for 10 years after that. However, the school I went to
was really focused on studio art; it was more traditional,
I think, than most schools. I did a lot of screen printing
too, which I love because it uses both the problem-
solving skills of a designer and the drawing skill of an
illustrator. I stuck with graphic design for a really long
time, but there was always a part of me that wanted to
draw more.
Recently I’ve transitioned into doing that: these days
I do branding and identity design as a part-time job, and
spend most of my time doing illustration. Even with

With its origins seated deeply in the past, the process of screen printing
continues to intrigue people, with the craft seeing a revival in modern
times. Screen printer Jonny Akers walks us through screen printing’s
origins and current incarnation.

creen printing in its basic form dates back over
2,000 years. Whether it be cutting shapes from
banana leaves to make a stencil and forcing ink
made from natural pigments through them, or making
frames stretched with human hair to form a mesh,
people all over the world have been using screen
printing to reproduce imagery for quite some time.
I encountered screen printing for the first time in
2004 while studying a fine art degree in Leeds. After
a brief introduction to the printmaking facilities,
I used screen printing on and off throughout my
degree, but I never realised how involved I’d become
with the process in the future.
Today I run a wedding stationery business called
The Old Market Printing Co1
with my wife Charlotte.
With her hand-lettering, illustration, and contemp-
orary designs, we use heavyweight paper stock, and
metallic and neon inks to make clean, modern, alter-
native wedding stationery.
Making and printing by hand is something I’m
passionate about, and one reason why I’ve never
ventured into automatic printing machines. I feel that
once you’re no longer pulling ink through the screen
by hand, the process is too commercial and loses part
of the magic of printmaking. While I’m printing by
hand, I’m still in full control of the finished print, and
it contains more of the experience and skill that I’ve
obtained over the past 10 years.
And I’m not alone in my passion for screen
printing by hand. Recently, there’s been a huge revival
for all things artisanal, with screen printing included.
Various websites have emerged, selling rudimentary
