Damon Roberts is a British printmaker based in Leeds in the United Kingdom. Operating under the name Glass Siren Studio, he has spent over twelve years refining a meticulous approach to the silkscreen process. His work is deeply influenced by architectural themes, particularly the raw aesthetic of brutalism and the structured principles of the Bauhaus movement. This obsession with precision led him to design and construct his own solvent free printing press, which allows him to maintain complete control over the production and distribution of his limited edition prints.

His creative methodology often integrates digital innovation with manual craftsmanship. Some of his most recognized pieces begin as sound signals visualized through custom software before being transferred to film and sharpened by hand using etching techniques. The resulting images are then hand pulled as silkscreens, frequently utilizing metallic pigments and high quality recycled stocks. Entering 2026, he continues to operate with a focus on archival releases and new projects, having recently overhauled his website strategy to reach a wider audience while navigating new international trade regulations. Despite the physical demands of working at the press, which he describes as a grueling daily process, Roberts remains committed to a self-sufficient model of creation where every stamped and signed document validates the authenticity of his craftsmanship.
