Inspiration
Why do we love the humble dandelion? Because it thrives in tough conditions, returning every year with bright yellow flowers that signal the arrival of spring. Even in the harshest city environment, it pushes through the concrete, packed with vitamins and minerals. The dandelion is a symbol of hope, resilience and renewal.
About This Print
This is a handmade print printed on handmade washi (Japanese paper). Strong, warm bold colours and shapes sit atop a delicate, partially translucent paper. The print is from a hand-cut lino block. Blocks are inked up by hand and lead to a unique colour variation in each print. Each print block is hand-printed onto a 50 gsm long-fibred handmade Japanese washi paper from Awagami Factory in Tokushima, Japan, where they have been making washi papers for eight generations.
Details
Materials: Water-based inks on a 50 gsm handmade Japanese washi paper with a deckled edge.
Size: 980 x 980 mm
Hand-signed and dated by the printmaker.
Each print is made by hand in our studio on the west coast of Ireland.
Ink colour tone variations are unique to each print.
Frame not included.
Sustainability Commitment
All of our prints are printed by hand in our studio. We use only handmade Japanese paper (washi) made from renewable plant sources. When compared to wood-based papers, washi is created with significantly less harm to our environment. We use only water-based ink and no toxic cleaning products or solvents. We hand carve our printing blocks from linoleum which is fully biodegradable and recyclable. Our paper packaging is 100% recycled paper from FSC-certified sources. As a member of '1% for the Planet' we donate 1% of every sale to environmental causes.
