Who We Are

Jenny Mason Gunning, a graduate of Cheltenham and Gloucester University in 2004 with a degree in Specialist Printmaking, has carved a significant presence in the realm of printmaking. Post-university, she founded her own business, now thriving as Ironbridge Fine Arts. Drawing from her extensive experience in various printmaking forms, Jenny’s passion for printmaking and etching is not just palpable but infectious, leaving a lasting impact on all who cross paths with her.

Operating from the expansive Printmaking Studio in Ironbridge, Jenny not only crafts captivating artwork but also imparts her passion through specialised workshops, Gunning Etching Press Demonstrations, and a curated range of Printmaking Materials, available both online and in the gallery. These resources cater to printmakers, educational bodies, and artists seeking top-quality materials for their printmaking journeys.
