The Circular Arts Network’s main launch this month is about getting our materials library into use, but the projects here are more than that.
It’s a way to promote genuine sustainable ways of working locally, and supporting local creative producers to avoid money being spent outside of the creative network we already have.
The centrefold calendar in this paper, is a reproduction of a risograph print made in collaboration with Circular Arts Network’s Sanna King, May 2026.
Play Play Play is a risograph print studio in Birkenhead founded in 2025 by graphic designer and educator Mark Simmonds. Play Play Play hosts workshops, tailored 1-2-1 sessions and DIY access for artists, designers and organisations such as Blue Room Inclusive Arts, Hazlehurst Studios and Make CIC.
The space focuses on teaching and facilitating affordable risoprint, with workshops on through June, and bookable one-to-one sessions over summer. Plus their first exhibition launching next month.
