Simone Tippett
I have been an artist-printmaker for over 20 years. I founded Union St Printmakers in 2009 to teach printmaking to fellow artists and the local community. Since then, my studio and teaching practice has expanded to curating folios, exhibitions and print events; as well as bringing together established artists and beginners to raise the profile and practice of printmaking in Adelaide. I co-ordinate a periodic e-newsletter of all things printmaking in South Australia and also edition lino plates for fellow artists.
My passion is persuading people over to the dark and inky side of the visual arts, as well as collaborating on projects and sharing skills.
In 2017 I established Stone & Quoin with fellow print buddy Damian Warman. Stone & Quoin is a dedicated artist-printmaking studio in a warehouse in Hindmarsh, South Australia. I’m also a member of the Print Council of Australia and Guildhouse, having previously served on their management committees as well.
I've been fortunate to be the SA contact for Enjay presses since late 2014, when Dianne Longley moved to country Victoria. I use an s24/610 press in my Stepney and Hindmarsh classrooms and have a RP12D for workshops outside the classroom.
I love the robust quality and safety of enjay presses. It is easy to extol the virtues of printmaking on presses like these 🖤

I am a Sydney local, having lived in this city all of my life. I studied at the National Art School and did post-graduate studies at City Art Institute (now UNSW Art&Design). I majored in printmaking during those years and printmaking in all its forms has been my passion ever since.
I teach printmaking classes in Sydney at Warringah Printmakers Studio, Ku Ring Gai Art Centre and Gallery Lane Cove Studio as well as workshops around Australia, and more recently at the wonderful Art Print Residence Studio in Arenys de Munt just outside of Barcelona in Spain. I also tutor school students in printmaking processes for HSC works. I organise the workshop program at Warringah Printmakers Studio and I am on their studio management committee.
I am also on the committee of the Print Council of Australia as a representative for NSW. I am a member of Sydney Printmakers which exhibits prints and promotes printmaking and I am currently the president of this group and help organise printmaking exhibitions all over Australia and internationally.
When producing my own prints I specialise in intaglio processes. So a reliable etching press is absolutely essential and my experience with Enjay as a printmaker is whilst doing residencies, 4 in total at the Art Vault in Mildura. I have spent many happy hours at the Art Vault printing in the studio on their Enjay press and the results are always spot on.
I am often asked for advice on printmaking/studio matters and I'm always happy to help.

My family nickname as a child was Ink, so it now looks as though that was prophetic… I fell in love with printmaking more than a decade ago, so much so that I have established a studio and teaching space in my home, where I have a big, beautiful, Enjay E34 etching press.
I recently opened the New England Contemporary Print Gallery, an exhibition, studio and workshop space in the centre of Armidale, dedicated to printmaking in its many forms. Here I use two RP12 portable presses that I also take with me on the road to bring printmaking into community centres in country areas. I’m thrilled to be able to share my passion for printmaking and my experience with Enjay presses. I couldn’t be happier with my three presses and would be delighted to help you find the press that will suit your needs.
