Underway Studio

Underway Studio is an illustration and printmaking collective based in Brixton, South London. Founded in 2015, the four members of Underway Studio work collaboratively on design projects using silk-screen print as a primary medium. Print designs are passed between the collective until they are finalised and ready to be screenprinted. As a result, the artworks have an impression from each artist creating a unique aesthetic. Much of Underway Studio's work is influenced by architecture, form, texture and colour. Using physical print processes means their visual language is both playful and distinctive, incorporating photography, collage, drawing and embracing any happy accidents along the way.

The members of Underway Studio are: Aiden Barefoot, Anna Schmidt, Caitlin Parks and Melissa North

All four members of the collective have received the following qualifications:

Ba(hons) degree Illustration and Visual Communication - University of Westminster 2014-2016
Foundation Diploma in Art and Design - Reading College (Aiden Barefoot), Arts University Bournemouth (Anna Schmidt, Caitlin Parks), University for the Creative Arts Canterbury (Melissa North), 2011-2013
