Meet the team
 



Mobile Print Studio was co-founded and is now run by David Farrar. You can meet David at most of MoPS’s workshops alongside our freelance tutors Olivia Juett, Tintin Lindkvist Nielsen, Santiago Taberna and the studio manager Romana Cerna.  

David Farrar

David is a visual artist working across a wide range of mediums but specialising in printmaking. He co-founded Mobile Print Studio in 2015 to encourage people of all abilities, backgrounds and ages to develop new skills and experience the joy of analogue print processes. He fell in love with screenprinting at Wheatley Park Secondary School, learning from a fantastic print technician Valeska Hykel using industry standard equipment. Access to facilities of this standard is quite rare for a state school, and David is passionate about giving others the same opportunities he had. This nurturing environment sparked an interest that led him to study Painting & Printmaking at The Glasgow School of Art, graduating with a BA (Hons) in 2013.
In 2015 he started working as a print technician within Design at The Glasgow School of Art and has built up over 8 years of technical expertise in printmaking, particularly screenprinting and etching. Recently he completed a PgCert in Higher Education Learning & Teaching, researching and honing his skills as a technical teacher.

Olivia Juett

Olivia is a freelance illustrator, printmaker and workshop leader based in Glasgow. She first learned what print was through music graphics and posters, and gradually discovered how this could be applied to fine art and design contexts. Printmaking has been a part of her own work since she started studying at the Glasgow School of Art, and she loves exploring how work can be made in a series. In particular, she is interested in the small variations that can make a series of prints similar, but still unique. Print is an area that encourages full immersion in the process, and a chance to get your hands inky! Olivia is a fan of both these things.

Tintin Lindkvist Nielsen


Tintin Lindkvist Nielsen is a Swedish printmaker, illustrator, and animator based in Glasgow. She graduated from The Glasgow School of Art in 2022 and works cross-disciplinarily within the field of visual communication and storytelling, exploring topics related to mental health, and emotions. She enjoys creating worlds with bright colors and characters that resemble ours while also being different. What she loves about printing is all the experimenting and 'happy accidents' that can occur during the printing process.
