Meet Nikki Prentice-Jones, Freelance NGO Consultant.

“Susanna’s workshop was absolutely brilliant! She led us through the different parts of the session in such a caring and generous way. A unique blend of making time for ourselves, connecting with what is truly important in our personal lives and then, creating a meaningful letterpress artwork to live by!”

“So inspired and different to anything I’ve done before. It’s set me up for 2023 – BOOK IT IN is my call to action. I have already started new exercise classes, Susanna’s yoga classes and booked precious time in with family and friends which I would not have done if I hadn’t attended the workshop. Thank you SO much Susanna!!”

Meet Rosie Wolfenden MBE, the Managing Director and Co Founder of Tatty Devine.

“Susanna so generously invited me into her space where I instantly relaxed and felt nurtured. I also felt happy that I'd prioritised myself above all on this happy day.”

“The physically of creating my affirmation was so immersive and powerful, connecting the brain to the brawn and walking away with a striking print that will be right at home on my studio wall. Thank you Susanna.”

Meet Aliya, Co-Founder of JourneyHR

“I loved the prep work Susanna got us to do ahead of the workshop. Spending time reconnecting with memories, smells, textures and objects that brought me joy was so relaxing and without wanting to sound too kooky, actually quite spiritual too. It got me to really slow down and take stock of the wonderful people and experiences I have been lucky enough have in my life. Susanna asked some brilliant questions during the workshop to guide us through to our call for action and kept the room free from judgement and full of compassion.”

“For anyone that knows me I am a bit of rebel, I like to be playful and social. I love food and am deeply proud of my ancestry. My call to action came to me as I was filling my container before the workshop and the more I thought about the words the more I felt connected to them. A massive thank you to Susanna for running such a thought-provoking experience. Learning more about the craft of letterpress was fascinating too!”

Meet photographer Jas, Jas Lehal Photography

“I attended Susanna’s Back To You Letterpress workshop. It was a safe place to share private thoughts and feelings, she has a very kind and supportive approach.”

“I came away with a beautiful print, which was the icing on the cake.
 It’s made me revaluate the the things that are important to me and I will definitely be making more space for them. Thank you!”

Meet Rebecca, creative community activist and cold water swimmer. See some of the projects she works on at Southampton Voluntary Services.

“I had a lovely time on this Letterpress workshop with Susanna. It really helped me think about what I care about and my priorities for the future.”

“The words I chose evolved from the conversations I had with others on the workshop. I was delighted to get a print at the end!”

Meet Rachel, Life Story Writer at Presenting Your Past

“I’ve been helping people write their Life Story books for over 8 years now, and have reached a bit of a crossroads, as to where I want the business to go.  The timing of the workshop was therefore perfect in helping me focus on what I really want from the business. Susanna was a great mentor, and created a supportive environment to help provide direction and motivation. When you have to sum everything up in just 3 words, it really helps sharpen your perspective, and provides clarity.”

“My poster posed the question ‘What’s Your Story?’ Answering this question has reminded me of what I want to be at the heart of all my work- respecting and recognising people’s stories, so that they aren’t simply defined by a diagnosis or life stage. Thank you Susanna for helping me work out how I want to invest my time and energy in moving the business forwards.“

Meet Hannah, Enterprise Project Lead at Action Hampshire

“Susanna's Back To You letterpress workshop provided a welcoming and gentle space to reflect on life in general and my priorities for the year. We had a really helpful discussion around the things most important to us and that bring us joy before deciding on our mantra!”

“Creating our prints with Susanna's wonderful letterpress was a very tactile and fun way to state our intentions. Over the last month or two I've frequently reflected on that day and the discussions we had (often prompted by looking at my fab print!) which has helped me to come back to those intentions and make choices that prioritise my wellbeing. An incredible workshop that has had a long-lasting impact on me!”

Meet Alison. Social Enterprise Programmes Coordinator at Action Hampshire

“As a busy working woman, mum, sister, partner and friend, it was so lovely to join one of Susanna’s ‘Back to You’ group workshops.”

“Having the time to stop and focus on myself in a supportive and energising space, with Susanna’s gentle guidance was brilliant. The letterpress print I took home was an added bonus! Thank you.”

Meet Lucy, founder of Make Work Play

"My friend invited me along to Susanna's Back To You Letterpress workshop. She sent us some homework around connecting to the things that bring us joy and it was such a gift to spend that time reflecting on what they were and remembering things that had fallen by the wayside"

"The session itself was cosy, intimate and connecting. We chatted, we scribbled and then came up with our call to action. And then, and this was the best bit, we got to use her beautiful letter press equipment to make an amazing poster which now takes pride of place in my office. Thank you, Susanna, for a wonderful, nourishing afternoon."

Meet Jen, executive director of Bear Face Theatre CIC

“I truly am grateful for the creative and reflective space Susanna so generously opened up and offered us during the letterpress workshop. The whole process felt relaxed, honest and held. Plus I made a poster with words that are really meaningful to me and I’m so proud to frame and put up on my wall at home.”

“Quality materials with expert knowledge gently shared. This was my first time using this equipment and I felt so energised and chilled at the same time. Pulling the roller and seeing my strong lettering and words was very cool. Loved it and will look to buy a friend this workshop as I know she needs an excuse to stop and recharge.”
