Product description

I carved these prints in Summer, when the ferns had unfurled and were strikingly green. What an unmistakable silhouette a fern makes. This lino block took some patience to carve but I enjoyed the meditative practice of noticing the rhythm in it's repeating pattern. 

These prints are a deep forest green. They are made on beautiful Japanese handmade paper, which has a translucent quality where you can see all the natural fibres. It also features a deckled edge that makes each piece feel truly special.

These prints measure approximately 8x10 inches at the widest points, though there may be small variations due to the qualities of the handmade paper.

Prints are unframed and will arrive in a compostable cello sleeve with a grey board backing to keep it safe and beautifully presented. 

My products are posted in a sturdy board-backed envelope, and all packaging is fully recyclable, so kind to your artwork and the environment.

How to care for your print

To keep your linocut print looking its best, store or display it away from direct sunlight, moisture and extreme temperatures, as these can cause fading or warping over time.

If you're not framing it right away, keep it flat in its protective sleeve or between clean sheets of acid-free paper.

When framing, use a mount or mat to prevent the print from touching the glass. Paper with deckled edges looks particularly impressive when float mounted (a picture-framing technique where artwork is mounted on top of a backing board rather than hidden behind a traditional mount or mat).

With just a little care, your handmade print will stay beautiful for many years to come.

Hand carved and printed by me

Each print is hand carved and printed by me in small batches in my Hampshire studio. Every design is an open edition, printed by hand with care and attention to detail.

Printed on beautiful handmade paper

Each design is printed onto textured handmade paper, where the natural fibres and deckled edges make every sheet unique. No two pieces of paper are exactly alike, from the patterns of the fibres within the paper to the character of the edges. These natural variations add to the individuality and charm of each print.

The character of a handmade print

Every print is individually printed and made by human hands, so you may notice subtle variations in ink coverage, colour, texture and impression. These natural differences are part of the character of handmade printing, making each print slightly unique.
