Meliprints Original handmade linocut prints, limited editions, created in Cambridge (United Kingdom) Hello!

I'm Melissa, a French-born printmaker and graphic designer now based in Cambridge, UK. I studied Applied Arts and Visual Design, and first discovered printmaking during a year in the US as an exchange student. I divide my time between my career in graphic design and my personal art practice, where I focus on hand-carved, original linocut prints. My style is bold and illustrative, using vibrant col

ours and strong contrast to capture everyday scenes and night-time atmosphere. People are often at the heart of my work, inspired by familiar places, communities, and the small moments of daily life. Each print is part of a wider story I enjoy telling through visual series. I love working on long-term projects that explore different themes: from the laid-back atmosphere of a British summer to the buzz of Cambridge’s streets, or the joy of music and dancing. You can follow my creative process, including videos, photos, and behind-the-scenes content, here and on Instagram, where I post under .

🌊 “Summer Days at the Lido” is available again 🌞

I’ve just printed a small new edition of my linocut 'Summer Days at the Lido', inspired by long, warm afternoons at Jesus Green Lido in Cambridge.
It’s a multi-block linocut, printed on a hand-operated press, with layered, vivid colours that build up the glow of a golden sky and the deep blues of the water.

It fits beautifully in a 30 × 40 cm frame with a mount.

A limited edition of 50, printed slowly and carefully, each one slightly different, just as it should be. 😉

I tried something new in the studio!
