A new chapter for Darkroom Door, with the same love of stamps, creativity and the people who bring them to life.

A family behind every order

Darkroom Door is a British, family-owned business led by Karen Fothergill. Our family designs and manufactures our rubber stamps in England, making each stamp to order with care.

From the artwork to picking, packing and sending your parcel, we look after the details ourselves. It is a personal approach to helping you create — whether you enjoy card making, art journaling or mixed media.

Meet the people behind the scenes

Karen oversees sales, order fulfilment and the day-to-day finances. She picks and packs orders, takes parcels for dispatch and shares email enquiries with Kieran.

Kieran looks after our social media and website development, alongside graphic design for our stamps and packaging. Together, they help keep the creative and practical sides of Darkroom Door connected.

Looking forward, remembering our roots

Our blog brings together two chapters of Darkroom Door. The creative archive preserves the projects and stories from the Rachel Greig, Stewart Yule and Zoey Yule era, with their original dates and creator credits.

This new space is where Karen can share the next part of our story. More posts will follow as we decide what to share with you.
