PRINTS:
I make two basic types of print:
REPRODUCTION PRINTS and ORIGINAL PRINTS.
The reproduction prints are made using giant-format digital printers (sometimes called "giclee" printers) which are capable of producing the sharpest resolution of any current printing system. These are not to be confused with cheap prints or posters.
We use very high quality papers: a heavy (310 gsm) velvet-surface, acid-free fine art paper is our standard for digital print. For etching and silkscreen we use 300 gsm Hahnemulle and Arches papers. These are all amongst the finest papers in the World. Our canvas prints are made using matte surface 350 gsm cotton canvas. If supplied gallery wrapped or framed, the timber is sustainably resourced.
We only use archival "pigment" inks for digital prints.
Original prints are a bit different: they're not copies of paintings or drawings. The print process itself creates the print
For etchings, we use traditional linseed oil and lamp-black based ink. A formula that's virtually unchanged for centuries.
FORMATS AVAILABLE:
Framed pictures are temporarily unavailable as supplies of Acrycast, the cast acrylic material we use for glazing is in short supply due to its use in making anti-Covid protective screens. We cannot send glass through the post due to the risk of breakage.
Canvas gallery wrap
Canvas is supplied ready to hang wrapped around a stretcher (an internal solid wood frame) 38mm deep to give a modern box style effect. The image extends round the edge of the frame.
We make our stretchers ourselves at our own workshop, they are much stronger than those generally used in the art trade.
Hanging fixtures are supplied
protected with three coats of matte varnish - protects against UV damage and damp environments.
