Our Products
We put a lot of care into the design and making of our products, this guide should tell you everything you need to know about them and how to look after them.
Prints
We partner with people who really know their craft to deliver the very best prints we can, using a variety of techniques and some of the worlds best paper.
Our screen prints are hand pulled using water based inks in Brighton and all of our colours are mixed especially for us by hand. It’s a traditional process and the colours and registration may vary slightly from print to print. Likewise most of our prints are printed onto recycled paper which often has small flecks of recycled material embedded in the paper, these will also vary from print to print. These aspects are part of what makes each print unique.
Our foiled prints are traditionally pressed in the North West of England. The final appearance of the foil can vary depending on the paper it’s printed on and the appearance of the foil can vary from print to print.
Our giclee prints are crafted with our London workshop and printed on the highest quality German Etching paper using archival inks. This means your prints won’t fade over time and are guaranteed to last for over 100 years! This is why our prints cost a little more than standard digital prints.
Unless otherwise stated all of our prints are supplied unframed. Wherever possible we’ve designed our prints to fit standard size off-the-shelf frames but if you want to really look after them we recommend you have them professionally framed. Please avoid hanging prints in direct sunlight or in areas of high moisture as this will reduce the quality and can cause distortion of the paper.
Jewellery
All of our jewellery is made by hand in our Liverpool studio using a mixture of modern and traditional techniques and materials.
Our metal pieces are laser cut in a family-run workshop on the West coast of Scotland before being finished in our studio. The metals we use in our pieces have been gently waxed but are not lacquered.
Over time brass will become darker and richer, developing a unique patina. To restore the original shine you can use a polishing cloth (we use Sunshine Polishing Cloths in the studio), a gentle, polishing compound, or use an extra fine Garryflex Rubber Block.
The stainless steel we use is grade 316L (surgical steel). It won’t tarnish but if you want to polish it you can gently rub with a polishing cloth or use a soft cloth and a very small drop of vegetable oil or sweet almond oil.
Anodised aluminium will not tarnish and can be gently wiped with a damp soft cloth to remove any marks. Please do not use abrasive cleaners as this will scratch the surface colour.
Our Jewellery is splash proof but please avoid direct contact with water, perfume, creams and other sprays as these may cause discolouration. Where we have supplied your jewellery in a box, we recommend that you store it in this. Keeping the silica pouch in the box will also reduce tarnish. All jewellery is best stored in a box or another container to avoid scratches and discolouration. Keeping metal jewellery air tight and moisture free will slow down the rate at which it develops a patina.
We also offer a professional cleaning service if you would prefer to leave the polishing to someone else. Costs for this start at £10 plus P&P and we can provide you with a quote at any time.
