episode 254 : tom murphy of make-ready

This week Miranda speaks with Tom Murphy the founder of Make-Ready, the largest fine-art screenprinting operation in the world.Tom grew up in Suffolk with pound-shop sketchbooks, bootleg band tees, and a fascination with how things are made. From a garage start nine years ago to collaborating with artists like Alex Katz, Ai Wei Wei, and Anish Kapoor, his path runs through open-access studios, industrial screen tech, and a deep respect for legendary shops like Brand X and Two Palms. It’s a conversation about craft, problem-solving, and that human impulse to leave a mark.Hello, Print Friend Residency in Chiang Mai, ThailandHello, Print Friend YOUTUBEHello, Print Friend MERCHHello, Print Friend WEBSITEHello, Print Friend INSTAGRAMHello,Print Friend PATREONHello, Print Friend SPONSORSLegion Paper
