Hannah Carvell

Hannah Carvell is a screen printer based in the rural heart of Somerset, where she works from a converted stone outbuilding nestled beside her cottage. Her work has been featured in national press such as Livingetc and Ideal Home, and in the the homes - and Instagram feeds - of people such as Erica Davies and Louise Thompson. Her home studio is the creative hub where she hand-pulls her vibrant, layered prints, known for their rich use of colour and the alchemy of overlapping inks that produce unexpected, luminous shades.

With a practice rooted in both instinct and experimentation, Hannah brings joy and spontaneity to each composition, embracing colour not just as a tool, but as a subject in its own right. Her signature aesthetic—bold, playful, and full of movement—reflects her fascination with how hues interact and transform when placed in conversation with one another.

When she’s not at the screen bed, she’s often accompanied by a lively cast of animals—three small dogs, a curious cat, and an ever-expanding flock of ducks and chickens—all of whom drift in and out of the studio like part of the process.

Hannah lives in a characterful old cottage, slowly being transformed in her spare time into what she lovingly describes as an eclectic sanctuary. Every room is layered with colour, texture, and treasures—objects collected from holidays, junk shops, charity shops and reclamation yards. While others might call it clutter, she calls it storytelling.

Whether in her home or her art, Hannah is instinctively drawn to bright colours, imperfect beauty, and the charm of things that feel lived-in. Her work is a celebration of colour, chaos, and the creative joy found in the everyday.
