Woodism is a collaboration between Woody, a young autistic boy, and his art director dad, who has turned his touching phrases into a series of linocut designs for charity. The prints capture Woody’s unique way of seeing the world and aim to help disperse the myth that autistic people lack empathy. In a few short months, Woodism went viral. It was invited to exhibit at Top Drawer - the UK’s biggest trade show - as well as stocked in shops in the UK and abroad. Woodism has raised thousands for the charity Ambitious About Autism.

What did the judges have to say?
“One entry that still gives me the goosebumps is Woodism – a heartwarming business based on an autistic boy’s phrases, beautifully emblazoned on well-crafted, designed linocut prints and cards.
