Mussel Shell Print
SUPERFOLK SAYS:
“Bring the sea home; a collection of hand made prints inspired by long walks on the beach collecting shells with our toddler daughter and childhood memories of doing the very same with my grandfather. Hang as a set or make a single bold statement.”

ABOUT THIS PRINT:
An original design by Superfolk. Designed and made by Superfolk in the west of Ireland.
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.
