The majority of our prints are limited edition relief prints that exploit the surface characteristics of linoleum or wood.

Our lino cuts or wood cut prints are realised by printing from the relief of multiple carved lino blocks. The linocut relief block is then hand coloured or printed with brown/black ink and pulled through a hand operated Farley roller press.

The use of multiple lino cut blocks produces a rich and evolved image.

Prints produced from our press are thematic. Illustrative sets are reminiscent of instant colouring books.

The printing medium and the carved line energise serious subject matter with an innately humorous cutting edge.

The Printing method itself is direct. The honesty of the relief printing process humanizes both content and subject.

The hand that made the mark is always evident. The resulting printed images convey a crafted Medieval-like anonymity of style and integrity.

We use top quality medium rough rag papers with deckled edges.

All our prints are available unframed to allow for easy dispatch.
We are happy to advise you regarding framing requirements.

The prints in our stock catalogue can also be enlarged and printed on canvas or linen.

Contact us and we will be happy to arrange a quote.
