Welcome to Silly Gooze Editions where we blend tradition with rebellion, to create, unique art that speaks volumes.

We are an artist-led Risograph print studio and artist book makers:

Our name takes inspiration from printmaking ‘wayzgoose’ celebrations. A wayzegoose is a centuries-old tradition where printers and workers come together for a festive gathering, typically held in late summer. The purpose was to celebrate the end of summer and the beginning of the season when printing by candlelight would become necessary due to shorter daylight hours. 

Today, wayzgoose events often include food, games, live music, demonstrations, and the production of a keepsake or printed material to commemorate the occasion. In other words, a time to celebrate print, share knowledge, and strengthen friendships - all of which we aim to do throughout the year at Silly Gooze Editions!

Our logo and mascot goose come from the ‘Be Gay Do Crime’ goose meme, which originated in LGBTQIA+ and activist communities, who adopted the goose from ‘Untitled Goose Game’ to humorously and playfully challenge societal norms and expectations. The phrase encourages embracing one's identity and expressing oneself authentically, even if it means defying conventional rules or norms, i.e., “If love is a crime, then I want to commit it.” Although in this case, our goose wields their own print pallet knife! 

Our founder, Dylan Fox, has experienced first-hand the discrimination faced by LGBTQIA+ people and has worked tirelessly within his own artistic practice to challenge societal norms in this area. Therefore, Silly Gooze Editions is committed to this cause just as passionately.

Our Core Aims

  • We do this in two ways:

    First, we proudly pledge 10% of our profits to local LGBTQIA+, mental health, and neurodiverse charities. With each order of our exclusive prints, posters, zines, books, merchandise, or materials, you’re supporting a cause that matters.

    Second, we prioritize publishing works through our editions store by people from these marginalized communities.

  • We are dedicated to providing a welcoming space for all, actively accommodating access needs whenever possible. Our ground-floor studio features step-free access, free onsite parking, gender-neutral single-cubicle toilets, and a mini kitchen to help minimize difficulties and maximize your time with us. We continually strive to meet physical access needs, ensuring a comfortable and inclusive experience for everyone who visits.

  • Our studio is inspired by the nature surrounding Weedon Depot, and we work to minimize our environmental footprint without compromising print quality. In the Anthropocene, we prioritize resilience and adaptability. We use plant-based inks, avoid harsh chemicals, and choose recycled or FSC-certified papers. Waste feeds a circular economy: offcuts become swatches, notepads, badges, and compostable materials that enrich local allotments. Plastics are reused or recycled. Have an idea for reuse or recycling? Get in touch – we’re always open to innovation!

  • If you run a not-for-profit or community interest company and need high-quality, sustainable prints, we offer discounts on a case-by-case basis. We believe everyone should be able to bring their ideas to life without barriers, and we’re committed to supporting your projects.
