The Print Bee is a boutique studio led by Lissie Harper, artist, nature-lover and designer. Based in leafy Oxfordshire, Lissie creates original artwork and keepsakes, ideal for gifts and wilderness enthusiasts. Lissie prides herself on being an independent business owner that thrives on supporting other ‘Indie start-up’s like hers. In her passion for creating lino prints, Lissie regularly explores new and creative ideas inspired by her natural surroundings. 

With a desire to champion conservation, Lisse supports her local charity, Friends of the Earth. The Print Bee continues it’s promise to advocate for our fuzzy friends in danger, and for every enamel Bumble Bee pin purchased, The Print Bee will donate 10% of the proceeds to Friends of the Earth.

Lino prints can be bold and powerful, or subtle and soft. We live in a world where many things can be mass produced. Not that there is anything necessarily wrong with that, as we all love a well known brand that commerce requires. But, the intricacy and intimacy of handmade art is a story of imagination and creation, where each idea has a backstory worth sharing. 

The Print Bee boasts a beautiful collection of pieces ranging from digitally painted cards to totes bags and enamel keyrings, all handmade with love. Most designs feature animal and insect prints, inspiring the local community to place their bespoke orders with The Print Bee of their own furry friend. 

The Print Bee is an act of love, honoring the legacy of Andrew Harper, Lissie’s late husband who was always in her corner; inspiring her to dream big and scribble small. With every idea and new design, Lissie smiles over each print, remembering that Andrew’s encouragement is part of The Print Bee success story.
