Are the products hand made?

Yes, every product is handmade apart from the fine art prints. Each original art piece begins as a hand-drawn sketch that is inspired by the UK countryside, mainly Shropshire and Wales. It is then hand-painted in either watercolour, gouache or oil depending on what medium would suit the particular piece.

Our block prints and textiles also begin as a pencil drawing that is then hand-carved into a lino block and hand printed onto paper or fabric.

Our fine art prints are our only non-handmade products as they are digital prints, using high quality pigment inks of our original paintings. The use of pigment ink on archival paper means that your print will last for years to come and much less prone to fading than standard ink.

Where are they made?

All of our products are made here in the UK, currently in Shropshire. We try to make sure we source most of our materials from independent businesses and are as eco-friendly as possible.

What is the difference between the various art pieces?

Original art pieces

These are the exact pieces that were painted. They are handmade and one-of-a-kind. This includes the Block Prints.

Fine art prints

These are the digital replications of the original print. They are printed on cotton archival paper to a high quality using pigments inks which will last for years. This retains all the vibrant colours, texture and details of the original art pieces. They are a more affordable option to buy art that still looks as good as the original.

Block Prints

Though they are called prints, they are actually original art pieces. The ‘print’ in its name refers to the process of how it was created. A block print begins as a drawing that is transferred to a surface such as wood or linoleum, we currently use the latter. It is then carved out with precision before it is hand rolled over with ink. The block impression is then hand pulled/printed onto paper giving you your original block print. As each piece is hand pulled, it creates the unique little variations making your piece one-of-a-kind.

Textiles (coming soon)

These are hand-printed fabrics from our own designs. Currently our textiles are made via the same process as block prints, but onto fabrics. They are then hand made or sewn into the upcoming products.
