In 2025, Gromit Unleashed 3 decorated the streets of Bristol and surrounding areas with giant sculptures of Aardman’s classic characters each lovingly crafted by talented artists, and each with a story to tell.
Gromit Unleashed 3 follows the success of the award-winning Gromit Unleashed and Shaun in the City arts trail, which have generated £20 million for Bristol Children’s Hospital since 2013.
Hannah painted 'The Secret Keeper' inspired by the movie The Secret Garden and sponsored by Peer Group PLC. The Gromit was located in St Mary Centre, Thornbury, from 30th June till 31st August 2025
The Secret Keeper sold for £32,000, every penny going to the Bristol Children's Hospital.
The wonderful Becca Luger visited my print studio, Spike Print Studio in Bristol, to film my preparations for the 'Made in Bristol Gift Fair.'
The film illustrates how and why I love to make greeting cards.
Visit my printmaking page for another video on how I create my screenprints.
