They have been credited with producing some of the first screenprints to be made in this country, and for introducing the medium to a number of artists including Eduardo Paolozzi. Firmin took part in numerous group shows and her solo exhibitions include the ICA, 1970; Gardner Art Centre, Sussex University, 1982; and Barbican Centre, 1991.
